This week’s floods in Turkey’s Black Sea region have claimed at least five lives, and at least one person is missing, officials said Thursday, Anadolu reported.
Floods due to heavy rains hit the northern Black Sea region on Wednesday, leaving five people dead in the Kastamonu province and one missing in the Bartin province, said the Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD).
Rescue and relief teams have been deployed to flood-hit areas, and the search for the missing is ongoing, according to officials.
While evacuations of some areas continue, the Turkish Red Crescent is also on the scene to help people affected by the natural disaster.
