Australia is facing severe flooding that has resulted in five deaths and stranded tens of thousands. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has initiated a cleanup operation in New South Wales, where extensive damage has affected at least 10,000 properties. Despite some easement in weather conditions, hundreds remain in evacuation centres, and significant rescue operations continue. The floods have led to infrastructural disruptions, including halted train services and a temporary closure of Sydney Airport due to flooding. The event highlights the ongoing challenges posed by extreme weather in the region.
Hundreds of residents remain in evacuation centres, with 52 rescues made overnight despite conditions easing. This shows ongoing challenges even as we begin recovery efforts.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the start of a cleanup operation in eastern Australia after record-breaking floods killed five people and stranded tens of thousands.
The death toll from flooding rose to five after a man in his 80s was found at a flooded property. It's awful to hear the news of more loss.
At their worst, the flooding isolated about 50,000 people and submerged roads. Coastal areas were littered with debris and dead animals after the storm.
