Heavy rainstorms hit Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria, yesterday, Tuesday, which led to floods that killed at least 7 people, including two vacationers who were swept away by a torrent that swept a camping site in northwestern Turkey.
And the Turkish Minister of Interior, Ali Yerli Kaya, announced that 4 people were missing after the floods invaded the camping site located in the Kırklare Eli area, close to the border with Bulgaria.
He added that about 12 vacationers were at the site when the floods arrived.
The minister stated on his official account on the X website, previously Twitter, that the search teams had found two bodies, noting that “the search and rescue efforts for the four missing persons are continuing without interruption.”
Television footage showed rescuers carrying a little girl and an adult man after they were rescued from waist-deep water in some areas.
