Impact of Floods in Southeast Europe

The Danube and other rivers in southeast Europe have swollen to record highs and broken flood defences, swamping large tracts of land and forcing thousands from their homes. Thousands have been evacuated in Romania, while Serbia has seen the worst damage to agriculture. Bulgaria has escaped serious damage, but will be alert as waters stay high and threaten to erode flood defences for at least a week more.
