The severe storm that hit the Atlantic coast of the South American country of Argentina caused chaos. Thirteen people were reported to have died in the port city of Baha Blanca. The strong winds, reaching a speed of 150 km per hour, blew away many roofs and even some planes at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery Airport, located in the northwest of the capital Buenos Aires.
President Javier Milei expressed his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and warned the public to stay at home.
Speaking at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Tianjin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan criticized the international community for failing to stop Israel’s attacks on Gaza, where he said “babies, children, and the elderly die of starvation.” He called for urgent UN reform, arguing the current system cannot end oppression in the Middle East.
Erdoğan also highlighted Türkiye’s role in supporting regional peace efforts in Syria, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia, stressing cooperation through the Turkic States Organization and major transport projects like the Middle Corridor and Development Road. He said Türkiye seeks a just global order based on diplomacy, trade, and stability.
