Turkey floods

Heavy rains in northwest Türkiye caused rivers to overflow and bridges to collapse on June 27 as authorities worked to evacuate stranded locals.

Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said there were no reports of deaths or missing people.

Some 996 billion Turkish Liras ($112 million) have been raised in donations in the wake of the deadly flooding in the Black Sea region and the wildfires that hit scores of provinces this summer, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu has said.

Teams are still searching for 15 people who went missing after the floods that hit Turkey's Black Sea region last month, Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu has said.

Heavy rains and ensuing flash floods in the country's north almost a month ago left at least 82 people dead.

The province of Kastamonu was the most affected where 71 people lost their lives.

Sudden rain hit Turkey's Marmara region, including Istanbul, following a torrential rain warning declared by the Turkish State Meteorological Service for the provinces in the region.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms struck both of Istanbul's European and Asian sides on Sept. 10, slowing life down as the traffic ground to a halt.
