In Turkey's earthquake-devastated areas, floods claim 14 lives.

Floods caused by torrential rains hit two Turkish provinces that were devastated by last month's earthquake, killing at least 14 people and increasing the misery for thousands who were left homeless. At least 12 people were killed in Sanliurfa, including five Syrian nationals whose bodies were found inside a flooded basement apartment and two other people who died inside a van that was trapped at an underpass. In Adiyaman, two people drowned after surging waters swept away a container home sheltering a family of earthquake survivors. Rescuers, using a rope, were seen lifting a man to safety from the inundated underpass. Several people were evacuated from camps where earthquake survivors were sheltering in tents.

The raging waters caused part of a highway in the region to collapse, and more than a dozen professional divers were involved in the rescue efforts in each of the two provinces. A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck parts of Turkey and Syria on Feb. 6, killing more than 52,000 people and severely damaging more than 200,000 buildings.
