Recovery during the search

Son Dakika, citing the Istanbul governor’s office, reports that Haşim Ciritlioğlu’s body was found near Ayvansaray ferry pier. He had been missing since the severe rain and flooding on October 14. The discovery brings the reported death toll from the Istanbul disaster to six.

Search operations continue

The source says efforts continue to locate one missing person. The previous week’s flooding submerged roads, swept away vehicles and damaged homes and businesses. This development is an update on continuing searches, rather than a new rainfall warning.

The scope of the figures

The six deaths are the total reported for Istanbul and should not be combined with separate flood incidents in other provinces. Access around search areas may depend on local authorities’ instructions. The report does not announce a new citywide transport closure or evacuation order for today.
