Severe Flooding Forces Evacuations in Korea

Severe flooding caused by heavy rains has led to the evacuation of over 500 people in South Korea, primarily in the Gyeongsang region, with continued rainfall expected to exacerbate the situation. Meanwhile, a low-pressure system named Boris has resulted in catastrophic flooding across central Europe, impacting countries like Romania, Poland, and Austria, with at least 24 fatalities reported. As Boris moves westward, northern Italy is experiencing significant floods, prompting the evacuation of more than 1,000 residents, school closures, and train suspensions in affected areas. The Emilia-Romagna region is particularly hard-hit, with rising river levels threatening homes and communities. Authorities are warning that the flooding conditions may persist for several days due to delayed water flows from the hills. The situation remains critical as emergency services respond to the ongoing disasters in both South Korea and Italy.
