7 December 2025

On December 5, 2025, several vehicles are submerged in a residential area of Tanjung Pura, North Sumatra, Indonesia, following the impact of Tropical Cyclone Senyar. Floodwaters sweep through the region, leaving debris scattered throughout the neighborhood and damaging the minaret of a local mosque. Submerged gravestones serve as a reminder of the community's grief. The disaster results in at least 836 fatalities and displaces over 645,000 people in Indonesia, contributing to a total death toll of more than 1,600 across the Asia-Pacific region. The landscape is marked by mud, debris, and a sense of loss.

An empty Tuk Tuk awaits tourists in Lisbon, Portugal, on August 24, 2024. Tourism in Portugal booms, leading to congested streets in Lisbon filled with tuk-tuks. In 2024, global tourism is expected to break records, fueled by ''revenge travel,'' digital nomad trends, and golden visas, which also drive up housing prices. The World Travel and Tourism Council projects a 24% growth in Portugal's tourism sector over 2019 levels, adding 126,000 jobs and comprising 20% of the economy. However, rising property prices push locals out of the housing market. Overtourism now harms residents, degrades sites, and overwhelms infrastructure.
