Deadly Flooding in Turkey Leaves 14 Dead and Many Missing
Turkey, still recovering from devastating earthquakes that struck just weeks ago, is now grappling with torrential flooding that has claimed at least 14 lives and left several people missing.
The floods have caused roads to wash away and highways to collapse, leaving people stranded and fighting for their lives against raging currents.
Rescue teams are working tirelessly to search for survivors, using ropes and ladders to pull people from the rushing waters.
The affected communities are now left to clean up the destruction once again, threatening their ability to recover from the earthquakes.
The situation has left families living in makeshift shelters after flooding submerged their homes.
The catastrophic earthquakes had already killed over 44,000 people in the country and left thousands more injured and homeless.
Despite the challenges, the resilience of the Turkish people has been incredible, according to NBC’s Keir Simmons.
However, many are back at square one and trying to decide what to do next, where to go, and how to rebuild their lives.
This latest natural disaster has forced many people who were already displaced by the earthquakes to start over again.
The true power of humanity is being witnessed as people come together to support one another during these difficult times.
As the search for survivors continues, the Turkish communities affected by this disaster are in dire need of assistance.
