The Arhavi River overflowed its banks – the regional center and rural roads were flooded. Search and rescue operations are underway.
Floods began in northeastern Turkey in the provinces of Rize and Artvin. This was announced by the country’s Emergency Management Department on Thursday, July 22.
“Today, as a result of extreme rains, a flood occurred in the Arhavi region of the Artvin province. The Arhavi river overflowed its banks, the regional center and rural roads were flooded. A similar situation has developed in the Fyndikli region of the Rize province,” it was reported.
Search and rescue operations are underway in the affected areas. Turkish Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu arrived there – he says that at the moment there is no information about the victims, it is known that two people were injured.
Recall that earlier Germany’s flood victims hit 175… More than 150 people are still missing – rescuers do not hope that there are survivors among them.
