Istanbul received rainfall late Wednesday and early Thursday. Rainfall triggered floods and slowed down the traffic in the Turkish megalopolis.

Esenyurt, on the European side of the city, which is the most populated district in Istanbul and Türkiye with a population of more than 977,000 people, was the worst-hit place. Streets and some buildings, particularly houses with basement floors, were inundated with water while people barely escaped from being drifted away by raging waters.

Apart from Esenyurt, rainfall particularly affected Beyoğlu, Fatih, Zeytinburnu, Bayrampaşa and Beşiktaş districts, forcing commuters to seek shelter from downpours.

dog attack
A dog identified as a mix between an American Bully and an American Bulldog escaped its kennel and entered a house, where it chased a child into a bedroom and mauled to death the 11-year-old girl.

Rachael Bhagwandeen had no chance to escape the powerful animal, and not even an attempt by responders, including the child's own mother, could tear the animal away from its attack.

Only the dog's owner could intervene. By then it was too late.

Her mother Seema Bhagwandeen said she ran into the house to find her child had been savaged.

She said her bleeding daughter reached out to her.

Heavy rain that was accompanied by wind caused several damages in the city, where the streets and avenues turned into rivers in a matter of a few minutes.

Around 4:00 p.m. the first drops began to fall on the "agricultural capital of the state", but the light rain quickly turned into a downpour that flooded the roads in all sectors of the urban area.

In some parts of the city, the water covered half of the vehicles, while in the south and west, failures in the supply of drinking water to homes were reported.

In this regard, the Municipal Board of Water and Sanitation explained that the rain caused breakdowns in the wells that supply the liquid, for which the technicians of the unit immediately went to carry out the repair work.

The director of the municipal district of Manabao, in Jarabacoa, José Rafael Abreu, reported that this community is incommunicado after the floods caused by the heavy rains that have fallen in recent days.

The heavy downpours also led to the Yaque del Norte River overflowing into that community.

"Just be patient so as not to put our lives in danger, just wait for the river flow to drop and declare this area a state of emergency; since the downpours have been continuing for several days, but today (Tuesday) it exceeded expectations. This is a natural phenomenon that has never occurred in Manabao, it has us incommunicado; we are waiting for the flow to drop, to see if we can restore traffic," Abreu said.

The mayor made a call to the authorities to come to the aid of that Municipal District and the people who reside there.

The senator of the La Vega province, Ramón Rogelio Genao, warned of the heavy rains and floods that have been produced by the downpours.
