Turkey: cars float down flooded streets as residents rescued

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “Turkey: cars float down flooded streets as residents rescued” – below is their description.

Rescuers pulled inflatable boats in flood waters gushing through streets of Turkey’s Black Sea district of Arhavi on Thursday to bring those stranded to safety.

Footage released by the country’s interior ministry showed distressed residents being evacuated from flooded homes. Access to dozens of villages in Arhavi were blocked and rescue efforts were under way – with officials saying 200 people had been evacuated.

Floods are common along Turkey’s Black Sea coastal region at this time of year. Last week, at least six people were killed and two others went missing in flood waters in Black Sea province of Rize
