Hopa

Georgians traveling to the northeastern province of Artvin to buy food, especially oil, have caused long queues in front of grocery stores.

Arriving at Artvin's Kemalpaşa district through the Sarp border crossing between the two countries, Georgians thronged the grocery markets to buy the foodstuffs that are much cheaper than in their own country due to the exchange rate.

A young woman named Busenur Doğanay, residing on a basement floor in Ankara's Keçiören district, has died due to floods that occurred after a heavy downpour in the city, Ankara Governor Vasip Şahin has said, adding that the search for the missing person continues.

Some 100 villagers, who were trapped in their houses in the mountainous region of Turkey's Black Sea province of Artvin's Hopa district that was struck by heavy rain and floods, were saved three days later after the disaster. 

With the Black Sea province of Artvin suffering floods after disastrous rain and landslides that killed eight people, experts believe the many hydroelectric power plants being constructed in the area and clogged culverts triggered the deadly phenomenon.

A total of eight people were killed in the floods that affected the Black Sea province of Artvin on Aug. 24, with one child still remained missing.
