RAQQA, Syria (AP) \u2014 Water levels of the Euphrates River in northern and eastern Syria<\/a> rose over the past two days, causing flooding, officials said Tuesday, spurring authorities to urge residents living on the banks to move inland.<\/p>\n

There were no reports of casualties in the flooding, which has been rare in Syria since Turkey built dams<\/a> decades ago that control the flow of the Euphrates into Syria and Iraq. The floods affected the northern province of Raqqa and the eastern province of Deir el-Zour.<\/p>\n
