Torrential rains have led to floods, landslides, and infrastructure damage in Turkey's Rize, Trabzon, and Giresun provinces.
Heavy rainfall affected the Black Sea provinces of Trabzon and Giresun, causing disruptions to daily life. In Trabzon, streets flooded and traffic slowed. A retaining wall and a road collapsed in one neighborhood, prompting the evacuation of residents from two buildings. In Rize's İyidere district, seven homes were evacuated as a precaution.
The region, prone to landslides and flooding, received numerous emergency calls. Authorities reported no fatalities or injuries, though the downpours necessitated temporary relocations for some families. The incidents underscore the ongoing vulnerability of coastal communities to extreme weather events.
