Central Europe Faces Severe Flooding Crisis

Flooding in Central Europe has resulted in significant challenges, with Romania experiencing the highest death toll of seven as local authorities declare a state of alert in the worst-hit counties of Galati and Vaslui. Approximately 6,000 households have been impacted, prompting emergency services to restore essential utilities. In Austria, water levels on the Danube and Inn rivers have exceeded early warning limits, with peak discharges anticipated throughout the day. Meanwhile, the Elbe River in Germany is rising moderately, leading Dresden officials to prepare for potential flooding with mobile barriers. Despite the easing rainfall, meteorologists warn of ongoing risks due to a trapped low-pressure system. Communities across the region are urged to remain vigilant as they navigate the aftermath of heavy rainfall and flooding.
