Blacklist grows in Turkey: Flood death toll rises to 77

The floods that hit northern Turkey last week caused the death of at least 77 people, according to a new report released by the authorities, which are continuing investigations to locate dozens of people who are reported missing.

According to the Directorate of Disaster and Emergency Management (AFAD), Forty people remain unaccounted for after the floods that followed heavy rains on Wednesday in Black Sea provinces.

In the city of Bozkurt, one of the hardest hit, rescuers searched the weekend in the rubble of houses destroyed by the waves, where the mud reached to the middle of the thigh, noted a photographer of the French Agency.

Yesterday, excavators cleared piles of trees, signs and other objects carried by the water, with the help of soldiers equipped with shovels, according to images broadcast by Turkish television networks.
