Floods caused by torrential rains have hit two Turkish provinces that were devastated by last month’s catastrophic earthquake, killing at least 14 people and increasing the misery for thousands who were left homeless, officials said.

Rescue teams were still searching for five people reported missing in three locations, interior minister Suleyman Soylu said.
