Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey, has been struck by its strongest downpours in the past 80 years. The rain caused floods in which three people died, officials announced.
The source states that rainfall of this intensity has not been seen in the city for roughly eight decades. Other details, such as who the victims were, which districts were affected or how much damage was caused, are not given in the report.
Because Istanbul is Turkey's biggest city, heavy rain and flooding there can affect a large number of residents. No further information about the situation or rescue efforts is available at this time.
