The death toll from severe rainstorms that lashed parts of Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria increased to eight on Wednesday after rescue teams located the body of a missing traveller who was swept away by flood waters that raged through a campsite in northwest Turkey.
A flash flood at the campsite near the border with Bulgaria carried away bungalow homes. Hundreds of homes and workplaces in several neighbourhoods in Istanbul, Turkey’s largest city, also were inundated during Tuesday's storms.
