TL;DR Summary

Parts of southeastern Turkey, already hit by earthquakes last month, were hit by heavy rains that triggered flash floods, killing at least 14 people and leaving some missing. The provinces of Sanliurfa and Adiyaman, home to some 2.7 million people, were among the areas hit. Millions of people left homeless from the earthquakes were staying in tents, cars and container houses when the flooding began. Search and rescue efforts for five missing people continued into the weekend. Evacuations from displaced camps took place, and patients were also evacuated from an intensive care unit of a hospital in Sanliurfa.
