Severe flooding has left at least 10 people dead in Central Europe after a month’s worth of rain fell in just a few days. The floods, which affected countries like Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic, have wreaked havoc on cities and rural communities alike. Rivers have overflowed, and entire towns have been submerged, forcing thousands to flee their homes.
Rescue operations are in full swing, with emergency services working around the clock to evacuate trapped residents and provide relief to the worst-hit areas. Roads have been washed away, and key infrastructure has been severely damaged, hampering rescue efforts.
The devastating floods come as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of climate change. With experts predicting that extreme weather events will continue to rise in frequency, Central European governments are now facing questions about their preparedness and infrastructure planning. As water levels slowly recede, the region braces for the long and costly recovery ahead.
