‘The tragedy is enormous’
Extreme Rain Events have triggered deadly flooding in Bulgaria, killing at least 10 people, destroying homes, washing away roads and forcing evacuations, officials said.
“The tragedy is enormous. I am here on a street in the suburb of Aspruhovo. The street is not here, the houses are not here, there are cars on top of each other,” said Varna’s mayor.
More rain has fallen in the eastern regions of Varna and Burgas in the past 24 hours than the average amount for the month of June. Forecasters have warned of more rainfall, thunderstorms and extreme weather in northern and eastern Bulgaria on Friday, said a report.
