This is not India, it's Türkiye: swarms of rats have invaded Esenyurt

In Istanbul's Esenyurt district, a rat infestation has alarmed residents. Footage recorded on an empty lot quickly spread on social media.

The video, filmed in an area where street dogs are fed, shows a large number of rats roaming the space. Watching the footage, citizens swiftly called for municipal teams to intervene.

Following the widespread attention of the video, many people urged the municipality to urgently disinfect the area before diseases start spreading. The risk of epidemic outbreaks in this area, where rats are densely concentrated, is causing significant concern.
