Fierce rainstorms have battered neighbouring Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria, triggering flooding that caused at least five deaths, including those of two holidaymakers swept away by a torrent which raged through a campsite.
A cyclist rides through floodwater blocking the road due to heavy rain in Basaksehir district of Istanbul, Turkey, on Tuesday Greece’s minister for civil protection, Vassilis Kikilias, said the storms were forecast to ease after noon on Wednesday and urged people in afflicted areas to stay indoors. Greece’s weather service said the Pilion region could get about 6.5-7cm of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, while 5-6cm were forecast for the central town of Karditsa.The storm comes on the heels of major summer wildfires that hit Greece over the past few weeks, with some burning for more than a fortnight and destroying vast tracts of forest and farmland.
Overflowing rivers caused severe damage to roads and bridges. The area also suffered power cuts and authorities warned residents not to drink tap water due to contamination from floodwater.
