😢 Tragedy struck Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday as devastating floods claimed at least 14 lives, with many others still missing. Torrential rains and landslides wreaked havoc across the center of the country, destroying homes, roads, and bridges, officials reported.
Communities are reeling from the worst floods in years, as emergency services scramble to rescue those trapped and search for the missing. \"It's like nothing we've ever seen,\" said one resident. \"Our town is submerged, and the devastation is unimaginable.\"
The heavy rainfall triggered landslides that buried houses and cut off entire villages. Infrastructure has been severely damaged, making rescue efforts even more challenging. Authorities have urged people in affected areas to stay vigilant and follow evacuation orders.
Neighboring countries are offering support, while relief organizations are mobilizing to provide aid. The international community is being called upon to assist in what has become a dire humanitarian crisis.
Our hearts go out to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina during this difficult time. Let's hope for a swift recovery and safety for all those affected. 🙏
