Snow Covers Egypt for First Time in 100 Years
Snow Covers Egypt for First Time in 100 Years
Nobody in Cairo was dreaming of a white Christmas,
but it looks like they'll get one. The worst snowstorm in more than 50
years hit the Middle East, blanketing Cairo, Jerusalem and areas of
Syria in white powder. It was the first time in 100 years that Egypt had
seen snow.Instagram quickly filled with images of snowball fights and landscapes, but in areas like Palestine, some were caught off guard. The United Nations expressed concern for refugees caught in the cold, but many families are ineligible for help because they are not registered with the UN, according to Al Jazeera. Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, was forced to close its doors briefly after snow clogged its main highway.
