A fifth body was recovered Sunday following torrential rains that hit İstanbul last week, while flooding in nearby Kocaeli claimed another life.
Heavy rain triggered flash floods and widespread disruption in Turkey’s largest city starting Wednesday, when three people died. A fourth body was found Friday.
Turkish media reported that the latest body recovered was that of a citizen of Turkmenistan. Two other people remain missing in İstanbul.
A new storm struck Saturday night, causing flooding in İstanbul’s Pendik district and nearby Kocaeli. A flash flood swept away a car in Kocaeli, leaving one person dead and another missing.
