Central Europe Flooding Leaves At Least 16 Dead - Prague

A section of embankment of the Vltava River is flooded in Prague, the Czech Republic, on September 16, 2024. At least three people were dead and seven others went missing due to floods caused by extreme rainfall in the Czech Republic, police said on Monday. Exceptionally heavy rainfall pounding Central Europe has prompted deadly flooding in the region, with four new deaths reported Monday in Poland, three in the Czech Republic and one in Romania. The flooding has swamped parts of Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Romania as a low-pressure system crossing the region has unleashed record-high rains for days, and it was expected to affect Slovakia and Hungary later in the week. So far 16 people have been reported killed, seven people in Romania, five in Poland, three in the Czech Republic and one in Austria. Photo by Dana Kesnerova/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
