Tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes in Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.

The death toll from heavy rain and flooding in central and eastern Europe has risen to at least 16. The Guardian reported this.

Five people have died in Poland. In the Czech Republic, a woman drowned in a swollen creek, and seven other people are missing. In Romania, the death toll has reached seven.

Tens of thousands of people were forced to flee their homes in Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. The flood damaged levees, flooded streets and caused power outages. In some places, entire neighborhoods are under water.

Let’s remember that Storm Boris caused the worst flooding in Europe in the last two decades. Houses, roads and infrastructure were destroyed. Poland has declared a state of emergency in its southern regions.

Rains are expected to ease, but river levels may remain high for several days.

We remind you that in Vienna, cruise ship passengers will not be able to disembark due to flooding.
