Heavy Rain and Flooding Hit Central Europe
ai generated text
Severe flooding has affected several countries in Europe, including the Czech Republic, Romania, and Austria. In the Czech Republic, a flood alert has been declared in 38 locations, with measures taken in Prague to protect against the rising waters. In Romania, at least four people have died in floods triggered by Storm Boris, with hundreds more rescued across the country. The worst affected region in Romania is Galati in the southeast, where four bodies were discovered.
The peak has not yet been reached and the coming days will be extremely difficult and challenging for the affected population and the emergency services.
We have a difficult situation in four rivers, potentially threatening evacuations and damage in several towns.
What we are trying to do right now is save as many lives as possible.
We must continue to strengthen our capacity to anticipate extreme weather events.
We are again facing the effects of climate change, which are increasingly present on the European continent, with dramatic consequences.
