This is a humanitarian tragedy.
We should send aid to the families effected.

Extremely upsetting images of a growing problem.

I hope the problem recedes as soon as possible.

It looks quite bad, let's hope there is no more rain.

Are you implying that an Orthodox Saint caused the tragedy?

So much for Urban planning.

Greed and yet more greed by the developers.

In the Silivri area 8 drain canals were blocked up for urban expansion.

There is the smell of corruption somwhere.

Idiots.
