Recorded rain of close to 1,000 mm fell over two days, depending on the region, which meteorologists described as the first heavy rain in 100 years.



The Turkish government has dispatched more than 5,000 military and police officers and 19 helicopters to rescue them, but communication has been cut off and the exact damage has not been confirmed.



In addition, 170 villages have cut off power supply and collapsed roads and bridges, making it difficult to even access the site of damage.



Another heavy rain is forecast early next week in Turkey, raising concerns about further damage.
