Hello friends, unfortunately, the number of casualties is rising. Istanbul has been hit by a major flood caused by the heaviest rainfall in the last 85 years. According to the statement made by the Minister of Interior, Mustafa Çiftçi, 3 people have lost their lives in Istanbul, and missing person reports have been filed for 5 people in Istanbul and 1 in Kocaeli. Search and rescue operations are ongoing. My heart goes out to everyone affected. I extend my deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives, and I sincerely hope that those who are missing will be found safe and sound as soon as possible.
