Central Europe is experiencing severe flooding, particularly affecting the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, where approximately 1,000 residents have been evacuated. The flooding, triggered by heavy rains, has led to a rising death toll, currently at 24 across the region, with additional fatalities reported in Poland, Romania, and Austria. Emergency services, including military personnel, are actively involved in cleanup and recovery operations, particularly in the northeastern Czech Republic, where troops are aiding local residents and distributing humanitarian supplies. In Emilia-Romagna, the cyclone Boris has caused significant damage to homes and agriculture, with many crops flooded, raising concerns for the farming community. Authorities have issued red alerts and closed schools and rail services in the affected areas, while residents remain hopeful for a decrease in rainfall intensity. EU leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, are visiting the impacted regions to assess the situation and coordinate relief efforts.
