What is Happening in Turkey and Why isn't it Viral?

 What's Happening?


The Turkish authorities are investigating until now wanting to know the reason behind this fire, the fire has killed six people until now and threatens popular tourist area, it's been three days that the fire doesn't stop and the reason hasn't been found yet.



The mayor of Antalya (Muhittin Bocek) said in a telephone interview from the ravaged town of Manavgat, about 50 miles east along the coast.
Our lungs are burning, our future is burning

As firefighters are struggling to contain the fire in a lot of different areas, Saturday was the fourth day and it's not contained until now as well as its fast-spreading, many vacation and resort areas are being evacuated for their safety and a lot of rural areas along the Mediterranean coast to be evacuated.

The fire had killed six people and 200 people are injured, as tourists had to evacuate from the hotels, people had to see their business getting burned out and destroy their living, not only turkey that has this problem, the weather around the world is deadly, every country has a problem nowadays with its weather, the global warming had new plans for the planet although scientists had been warning us for decades to take care of our weather system.

This problem is getting bigger because the fire is going through the borders of the Mediterranean area this summer, like Syria, Lebanon, Greece, and Italy. 

A popular ecology (Cagatay Tavsanoglu) said that it is normal in summer to have an annual occurrence but it's increasing every summer even more as people should know that it should be taken as a warning to take care of our global system. He stated:

“Many fires could not be put out, and with the influence of dry winds, burning happened too fast, it is just the first indications of what climate change would do to the Mediterranean region in the future.”

The fire started in Manabvaget on Wednesday and by Friday there were more than 70 spots burned out and the fire was spreading more, three people died in Manabvaged and one died Marmaris, due to this problem Turkey deployed 4,000 firefighters, hundreds of vehicles and three planes to fight the fires as was stated by the Minister of Agriculture (Bekir Pakdemirli).

 What's Happening?  Top inventions that were made by women changed the world, let's praise them! 1. Medical syringe to be honest, I never knew that who did the syringe and always had no information about women doing any inventions I don't know why but this invention was done by Letitia Geer and was done in 1899, as they did the syringe that required two hands to do the injections correctly without resulting any harm, so basically, she invented the syringe that required only one hand that all medical practices use it now! "Her syringe design includes a cylinder, piston rod, a handle, and nozzle. The piston rod had a U-shaped handle for easier grip.
