Recall
As previously reported by UNN, the south of Germany suffers from flooding caused by heavy rains and rising water levels in the Danube and its tributaries. A firefighter was killed during a rescue operation in Upper Bavaria. After a landslide caused by rain, the ice train derailed. In ten Bavarian communes, due to rising water levels in the Danube and its tributaries, a natural disaster regime has been declared.
