٠٠:٠٢:٣٤Vast territories submerged under water were seen in the southern Poland's Nysa and Glucholazy as Central Europe grapples with severe flooding caused by the heavy rains.
Footage captured in Nysa on Sunday shows overflowing Eastern Neisse River and Nyskie Lake, as well as flooded streets and fields of the city.
Video captured in Glucholazy on Tuesday displays the flood aftermath, including mud, debris, and rubbish around the town.
In response to the crisis, Poland has declared a state of natural disaster in the affected areas to facilitate emergency measures.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk held a disaster meeting in Wroclaw, noting that conflicting forecasts about floodwaters made it challenging to prepare adequately. "The predictions need to be analysed in detail," Tusk stated.
According to media reports, the death toll from Storm Boris rose to 21 people across Europe, including six in Poland. Reports indicate seven deaths in Romania, five in Austria, and three in the Czech Republic. It also left tens of thousands of households without electricity or fresh water in Austria, Romania, Hungary, Germany, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.
The flooding has triggered memories of the devastating 1997 floods, which resulted in 54 deaths and forced 162,000 people to evacuate in Poland and the Czech Republic.
