An aerial view of bicycle riders on dried up pond due to prolonged drought and extreme heat in Kocakent neighborhood of Mazidagi district in Mardin, Turkiye on July 04, 2025. With temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius in the region, leaks at the bottom of the pond caused the water level to drop rapidly. Now entirely dried up, the pond once a fishing spot for both locals and visitors from nearby provinces has lost its function. Villagers stated that the pond had been both a source of livelihood and a social gathering place for years, expressing deep concern over the severe impact of the drought.
