Health Minister Fahrettin Koca tweeted late Monday that it involved a woman and her one-year-old daughter. They were discovered in Adiyaman province. The floodwaters had washed away a container home where the woman and her family lived. The death toll has risen to 20, the private news agency Demirören reports. The search for the missing has now been completed, writes the state news agency TRT.

Just five weeks after the devastating Feb. 6 earthquake and many aftershocks, last week’s floods engulfed an already disaster-ravaged region where thousands of people live in makeshift shelters such as tents. Several tents housing earthquake survivors have been flooded in Adiyaman and Şanlıurfa and Hatay provinces near the Syrian border.

The earthquake, which also hit parts of neighboring Syria, killed more than 50,000 people in Turkey alone. About two million people had to be accommodated in emergency shelters such as tents and containers. About 6,800 people have died in the quakes across Syria, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
