Floods hit Turkey’s north after south ravaged by wildfires

The floods are the most recent disasters experts say are connected to climate change to hit Turkey in recent weeks.

Floods caused by unusually heavy rainfall are ravaging Turkey’s northern coast, tearing down a bridge and leaving villages without power. The floods on Wednesday came after some of the largest wildfires in the country’s history spread across the southwest. State broadcaster TRT Haber said one person died from a heart attack in the northern province of Bartin amid the flooding, and emergency workers were looking for another person who was missing.
