Recent floods in southwestern Poland have resulted in a tragic increase in the death toll, now confirmed at nine, following the discovery of two additional bodies. The national police chief, Marek Boron, reported that one individual remains unaccounted for. The floods, which occurred earlier this month, were triggered by torrential rains that caused significant damage to infrastructure, including homes, bridges, and roads in towns such as Stronie Slaskie and Nysa. The impact of these floods has been felt not only in Poland but also across Central Europe, where over 20 fatalities have been reported. Among the deceased in Poland was a German citizen, highlighting the widespread devastation and loss of life caused by this natural disaster.
