As Storm Boris continues to wreak havoc across Central and Eastern Europe, the death toll has tragically risen with at least seven fatalities reported, including a firefighter in Austria and several victims in Romania.
The consequences of this storm have been severe, with thousands of evacuations in the Czech Republic, homes destroyed, and widespread power outages affecting over 250,000 households.
Local authorities in Lower Austria declared a disaster zone following the death of the firefighter, while neighboring areas struggle with infrastructure damage and a high risk of further flooding.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced plans to declare a state of disaster in response to the floods and indicated reaching out to the European Union for assistance.
