Deadly floods continue to threaten central Europe | BBC News

More than 5,000 troops have been deployed to support people in southern Poland, as floods threaten parts of central Europe.

At least 18 people have died in the flooding in Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Austria.

Water levels in Nysa, southern Poland, have started receding after the mayor of the town of more than 40,000 people ordered residents to evacuate on Monday due to damage to a nearby flood bank.

The flooding comes after Storm Boris brought vast amounts of rain and snow at the weekend.
