Watch an excavator rescue people from Turkey floods
Workers rescued seven people stranded in a local cafe after heavy rains flooded a stream in the village of Soguksu village, AFAD said in a statement.
Video released by AFAD showed rescuers using the bucket of an excavator to carry a woman to safety over fierce floodwaters.
Floods are common along Turkey's Black Sea coastal region at this time of the year.
In July, at least six people were killed and others went missing in flood waters in Rize, in the country's northeast.
