Sarajevo, May 19 (RHC)-- Dozens of people have been killed and tens of thousands have been displaced after unprecedented flooding in the Balkans. An estimated three months worth of rain hit the region in just three days.

About one-third of Bosnia’s land mass has been submerged, affecting an estimated one million people. Dangerous water levels have threatened flooding at two of the country’s power plants.

Thousands of people are without water and electricity. The flooding has also washed away warning signs near the thousands of land mines that remain from the 1992 to 1995 war.

A recent European Union report warned countries are at greater risk of flooding due to human-driven climate change.
