Storm Boris has caused catastrophic flooding across central Europe, leading to the evacuation of Nysa, Poland, with its 44,000 residents urged to seek higher ground due to fears of an embankment breach that could unleash a massive wave. The death toll from the floods has risen to at least 21, including fatalities in Poland, Romania, Austria, and the Czech Republic, with reports of significant damage and emergency evacuations in multiple areas. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared a 30-day state of natural disaster and pledged £197 million in aid, while authorities are preparing for potential flooding in other cities, including Wroclaw and Budapest. Climate experts have attributed the severity of the floods to climate change, citing unprecedented rainfall over a short period. The situation remains critical as volunteers and local authorities work to fortify flood defenses and assist affected populations, with additional evacuations ordered in neighboring towns. As regions brace for continued rainfall, the humanitarian and infrastructural impact of the disaster is expected to escalate.
