Europe Floods Force Thousands To Flee Homes
Description: At least twelve people have died as a result of heavy flooding across central Europe. In Germany, around 10,000 were forced to leave their homes in low-lying areas of Saxony and Bavaria as many rivers across the country broke their banks and spilled over the countryside. The Bavarian town of Passau, where three rivers meet, saw floods at their highest level in more than five centuries but waters are now receding. [Source: Sky News]
