Aerial of damaged houses STORYLINE: Receding waters revealed the scale of the destruction caused by exceptionally heavy rains in Central Europe that began a week ago and have already claimed at least 24 lives. The massive flood wave moving across Central Europe threatened new areas Thursday, raising concerns among residents and officials and prompting European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen to plan a visit to the region. Czech Interior Minister Vit Rakusan said one more person was reported killed on Thursday in the country's hard-hit northeast, bringing the death toll there to five. There were also seven deaths each in Poland and Romania, and five in Austria — with the overall death toll in the affected countries now at 24. In the northeastern Czech Republic, soldiers joined firefighters and other emergency crews to help with cleanup and recovery efforts. Army helicopters distributed humanitarian aid while soldiers were building temporary bridges in place of those swept away by flood waters. Some 400 people remained in evacuation centers in the regional capital of Ostrava, unable to return home. In the southwest, near the border with Austria, the water level of the Luznice River reached an extreme level but the evacuation of 1,000 people in the town of Veseli nad Luznici was not necessary for the moment, officials said. The floods in Central Europe combined with deadly wildfires in Portugal are joint proof of a “climate breakdown” that will become the norm unless drastic action is taken, the European Union’s head office said Wednesday.
