Germany is living an incredible tragedy, where at least 93 people have died from heavy rains and floods, according to the latest report.
Across Europe, a total of 108 people have lost their lives.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, one of the worst-hit areas, the death toll now stands at 43, up from 31 yesterday, according to local authorities.
Many people have died and others are missing after a landslide triggered by heavy rains this morning swept away homes in the Erstad-Blessem community near Cologne.
“Houses were swept away by the water and some collapsed. Many people are ignored “, according to a tweet from the community authorities in the Cologne region. A spokesman said there were also a large number of confirmed deaths.
Images from the site of the disaster show a giant crater where huge amounts of mud, muddy water and debris have accumulated, as broadcast by the French Agency and rebroadcast by the Athenian News Agency.
