Snowfall in Van gave way to cold weather

Freezing cold weather in Çaldıran has a negative impact on life.

In the Bezirhane Neighborhood of the Çaldıran Plain, where the lowest temperature in the region was measured at 33 degrees below zero in February last year, the fountains froze.

In the neighborhood, where the temperature dropped to 20 degrees below zero at night, frost formed on trees and electric wires, and visibility was reduced due to fog.

One of the citizens, Mehmet Şirin Tançoban, told AA correspondent that the temperature in the neighborhood was below zero throughout the winter.

Tançoban, who explained that the laundry hung outside to dry was freezing, said, "Life is very difficult here. There is no coal or wood left. It is very cold. We cannot take our animals outside. We cannot stay outside for more than 10 minutes. It is cool here in the summer, but very cold in the winter."

Caner Tançoban also said, "We are constantly lighting the stove because it is cold. We use 3 or 4 quilts when we sleep. Otherwise, we cannot stay warm. It is really cold."
