A large city in the Mediterranean will sink by 2050
Alexandria

The largest port and second largest Egyptian city, Alexandria, may disappear under the sea in a few dozen years.

Even according to the UN's best-case scenario, a third of the city, which was founded by Alexander the Great in the Nile Delta, will be under water or uninhabitable by 2050, reports Jutarnji list .

One and a half million inhabitants out of a total of six million will have to flee their homes and the city's ancient ruins and historical monuments are at great risk from the Mediterranean Sea.

So far, hundreds of residents have had to evacuate their homes that were damaged by floods in 2015 and 2020.

As Jutarnji list reports, every year the city sinks by more than three millimeters due to the dams on the Nile that hold the river mud that once hardened the soil and the extraction of gas from under the sea. At the same time, sea levels are rising due to global warming.

According to the worst projections of the UN climate panel IPCC, the Mediterranean Sea could rise by one meter within thirty years.
