The Evros River is drying up, and a newly released video shows a local resident walking through the dried riverbed, in areas where the water has either drastically receded or completely disappeared.

Watch the video:

Farmers and livestock breeders along the Evros are experiencing dire conditions, as water scarcity has become severe.

Thousands of acres of farmland are drying up day by day, with producers watching helplessly as the water vanishes.

Farmers describe it as a struggle for survival, with the drought consuming their crops.

Equally distressing is the situation in the Evros Delta wetland, where—according to reports from local residents and environmental organizations—a lack of fresh water is threatening the area’s biodiversity, resulting in the death of fish and wildlife.
