Seventy-seven people died and another 47 people are still unaccounted for in Turkey after flash floods swept through several towns in the Black Sea regions last week, officials said on Monday. 

More than 30 villages still have no electricity and some areas have no running water, according to the disaster and emergencies service.

Weather forecasters warned of further flooding due to expected heavy rainfall on Monday in Black Sea provinces to the east of the regions affected last week.

According to local media, over 2,000 people were evacuated from affected areas as more than 8,500 personnel were involved in emergency response efforts.
