Gaziantep, Turkey. 19 January 2022. A thick layer of snow covers the southern Turkish city of Gaziantep, which has been heavily hit by snowfall since Tuesday. Local authorities have struggled to rescue people trapped in the traffic, with the Tarsus-Adana-Gaziantep Motorway being closed. Record high temperatures and thick snow were recorded in Gaziantep for the first time in 54 years, while heavy snow blanketed most parts of Turkey, with disruption to roads, highways, and schools across the country
