Due to the heavy rain in Urfa, houses, offices and public buildings were flooded. In the city, where roads, bridges and tunnels are filled with water, people are in despair and react to the rulers. At the 150-meter-long Abide Junction, which was opened two months ago by AKP Chairperson Tayyip Erdoğan in the Haliliye district and served as a great service, the firefighters who went to rescue the vehicle in which the people were in, were also swept away by the flood waters. It is stated that 6 people, including firefighters, were trapped in the tunnel, which was filled with water to the brim. Citizens gathered around, reacting to the desperation, claimed that many vehicles and people were trapped in the tunnel.

It is stated that there are no vehicles or exits for evacuation in the tunnel, which is filled with muddy water. The intersection connects Urfa and Antep highway.
