Ankara, Turkey: Rescue workers in Turkey continue to search for Tuesday for 34 people still disappear after severe flooding destroys the parts of the country’s black sea coast, with excavators to clean mud and build ruins left behind.
At least 77 people were killed after heavy rains beat the Northwestern Black Sea Province of Turkey on August 11, causing flooding that destroyed houses and bridges, sweeping the car and blocking access to many roads.
The Turkish Disaster Management Agency, AFAD, said that 26 people had not been counted in Kastamonu Province and eight others were reported missing in the province of Sinop.
Private NTV television shows excavators eliminating debris from the areas destroyed by the flood in Bozkurt City in Kastamonu Province and from Ayancik in Sinop.
The military installed a temporary bridge to replace those who were destroyed, while the helicopter brought assistance to villages that were still cut off by roads blocked by flooding.
Also Tuesday, the police in Istanbul held back the eight-story building contractor in Bozkurt which collapsed in the flood, the anadolu institution managed by the government reported.
The man is expected to be taken to Bozkurt to be questioned by the prosecutor.
More than 9,500 personnel and 19 trained dogs were involved in rescue efforts and efforts to provide assistance, said Afad.
About 2,400 people were evacuated throughout the region in the middle of the flood – their scores were lifted to a safe place with a helicopter.
Many are placed temporarily in the student dormitory.
The flood crashed into the north Turkish coast of the same as hundreds of rescue workers tried to tame fire racing on the country of South Mediterranean.
Climate scientists say there is little doubt that climate change from coal combustion, oil and natural gas encourage more extreme events – such as heat waves, droughts, forest fires, floods and storms – like this planet warm.
