On Saturday evening, heavy rains began in the states of Sanliurfa and Kahramanmaraş, which were affected by the earthquake in southern Turkey, after 3 days of torrential rains and floods.
The authorities in the two states are taking extensive measures to prevent citizens from being affected in the event of a disaster similar to the one that occurred on March 15.
Citizens experienced difficulties in moving between the regions in Sanliurfa and Kahramanmaraş due to the accumulation of water on many streets and alleys.
