It emerged that flash floods killed at least 14 people living in tents and container housing across Türkiye’s quake-hit region on Wednesday. Several more people were swept away by the rushing water, which turned streets into muddy rivers in areas hit by last month’s 7.8-magnitude quake, officials said. More than 48,000 people died in Türkiye and nearly 6,000 in Syria in the February 6 disaster, the region’s deadliest in modern times.
