 Snowfall in the Middle East: Snowfall in most Middle Eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia

"Everywhere you look today, the tide of protectionist sentiment is flowing.

This is the poem of Masood Hasas that comes to mind after looking at the pictures and videos posted on social media from the Middle East over the past few days.

A region known for its extreme heat and dry weather in ordinary days is now covered with a white sheet of snow. Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Turkey, Iraq and Saudi Arabia have also seen spectacular snowfall.

Most people looking at these pictures may feel that this is a strange thing, although it usually snows in most parts of the Middle East.

However, many have linked the snowfall to climate change, saying "where are those who speak out against climate change today?"

Snow has also fallen in Palestine and Israel, and the weather is expected to intensify in the coming days.

The snowfall has caused traffic problems in several parts of the Middle East, and in some places, the vaccination of Code 19 has been halted. Similarly, educational institutions remained closed in some countries.

The Syrian capital, Damascus, was also covered in snow, with more than 15cm of snow recorded in some parts, according to the country's state news agency SANA.

Where they used to make mirages on the roads due to extreme heat, now bulldozers are seen removing snow from the roads.

Lebanon also received snowfall, but at the same time strong winds have been blowing here and according to the country's Meteorological Department, this blizzard may intensify on Thursday.

In most countries, traffic problems continue to occur, but of course, the fun of riding a bike in the snow is different.

Meanwhile, there was snowfall in Israel and Palestine and according to the Israeli Meteorological Department, the weather will be cold all over the country in the coming days and there is a possibility of torrential rain.

A user posted a video on social media showing scenes of a snow-covered road from Damascus to Beirut.

In the mountainous areas of Saudi Arabia, after the snowfall, most people are sharing videos of camels during the snowfall in the city of Tabuk on social media. One user commented on the video, saying that these camels are also confused by the weather.

Keep in mind that the snowfall in the Saudi city of Tabuk is not surprising. The city is located on the border between Saudi Arabia and Jordan and snowed here last month.

Most people on social media also seem to pay attention to the fact that at this time we should not forget the war-torn areas in the Middle East where people may be affected by snowfall.
