Deadly flooding in western Germany has left devastation in its wake, as seen in Rhineland-Palatinate's Ahrweiler on Thursday.

Residents were seen sweeping muddy water out of their homes and onto the streets. Damaged cars and debris were seen strewn around the town's roads.

At least 42 people have been killed, with many more missing, after unprecedented rainfall caused multiple rivers to burst their banks, creating flash floods, in western Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland Palatinate. Six people have also died due to the flooding in Belgium, while the Netherlands and Luxembourg have also been affected.
