Heavy rainfall caused the Egricay River to overflow causing flooding in Adıyaman’s Tut district.

One person died and three others went missing after the floodwater swept away a container set up in a garden in the district, officials said.

Search teams have been dispatched to the scene for the missing people, they added.

In Şanlıurfa, at least 4 people have died in flash floods, and 6 others went missing, including 2 firefighters, Governor Salih Ayhan said.

The flood waters overwhelmed streets, shops, and subways, and stranded people in homes and cars, prompting dozens of evacuations and rescues.

Videos shared on social media platforms showed flood water dragging vehicles through city streets. (ILKHA)
