Floods kill 6 in Turkey's Samsun city

At least six people have been killed amid floods caused by heavy rainfall over Samsun city at the Black Sea area in Turkey. Downpours had started late Tuesday causing floods which have inundated a number of buildings and led to closure of roads in the city. The city's directorate of disaster and emergency has formed a unit to handle the situation. Rescue teams have began searches and located six bodies among them four children. In 2010, 12 people were killed in a major landslide and flood in the tea-growing Black Sea province of Rize.
