Families of those missing after Turkey's worst floods in years anxiously watched rescue teams search buildings on Saturday.
At least 44 people have died from the floods in the northern Black Sea region, the second natural disaster to strike the country this month.
In one collapsed building along the banks of the swollen river, 10 people were still believed buried. The rapid floodwaters appeared to have swept away the foundations of several other apartment blocks."This is unprecedented. There is no power. The mobile phones were dead. There was no reception. You couldn't receive news from anyone," said Ilyas Kalabalik, a 42-year-old resident.
"My aunt's children are there. My aunt is missing. Her husband is missing. Her twin grandchildren are missing. The wife of our building manager is missing along with their two children," Kalabalik told Reuters.
