Extreme levels of flood danger were announced in at least three places in Western Europe. At least 42 people have been reported dead.

Climate change is emerging as the biggest challenge facing all countries in the world. On the one hand, due to global warming, glaciers are melting and sea levels are rising.

Floods, on the other hand, have become a regular occurrence in many places due to the heavy rains that miss the season.

In this situation, it has been raining heavily all over Western Europe for the last few days. This has caused flooding in most of the rivers there. Houses along the river have been completely swept away. Germany in particular has been hit hard by the floods. Extreme levels of flood danger were announced in at least three places in Germany.

Preliminary reports indicate that at least 42 people have been killed in floods in Germany alone. And many have been swept away in the floods. The search for them is in full swing. In addition, the country's military and police are working together on the rescue effort.

Hundreds of homes have been affected by the power outage. Also, residents around the floodwaters are being rescued by helicopters. This is considered to be the worst flooding in Germany in recent years. It is feared that the death toll could rise further as rescue operations are not yet complete.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has expressed her condolences to the victims and ordered a speedy rescue operation. Not only Germany but other European countries have also been affected by the floods. In Belgium, more than 10 houses were completely destroyed by heavy rains. More than 1,000 were evacuated from dangerous areas. Extreme levels of flood danger were announced in at least two places in the Netherlands.
