France and Germany seek EU assistance while battling against flooding
Briefly

"As the new year starts, EU solidarity does not waver. Once again, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism's swift and decisive assistance to the flood-stricken regions of Germany and France stands as a testament to the strength of unity. I thank Austria, Czechia, France, Hungary, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Slovakia and Sweden for quickly showing their support." said Commissioner for Crises Management Janez Lenarcic.
"For the second time in two months, the department of Pas-de-Calais is on red alert, meaning there is a risk to life due to flooding."
"Large areas in Germany have been under water for days, such as Lower Saxony and Bremen, which remain on weather alerts. Heavy rain on Wednesday caused water levels of several rivers to rise significantly, increasing the risk of major flooding."
