Central Europe is grappling with severe flooding, affecting countries from Poland to Romania.

In Poland, the city of Nysa is under threat as floodwaters risk breaching a dam protecting the city center.

Thousands, including residents and emergency services, are working tirelessly to reinforce the dam with sandbags.

The Polish government has declared a state of emergency in affected areas, facilitating quicker response measures.

Meanwhile, in Romania, the death toll has risen to seven, with thousands of homes submerged, particularly in the eastern regions.

The situation is similarly dire in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where emergency services are on high alert, and several areas have been evacuated.

The floods have also impacted Austria and Germany, with rising water levels causing concern, although preparations are in place to mitigate potential damage.
