Catastrophic floods leave over 120 dead in western Europe, many more still missing

Photo taken on July 17, 2021 shows a flooded road in Roermond, Limburg, a province in the southeastern part of the Netherlands. Devastating flash floods due to intense rainfalls have swept through several western European countries in the past few days, killing more than one hundred and causing damages. The Dutch government has formally assessed the flood in Limburg as a disaster, allowing victims to obtain clarity about whether their damage will be reimbursed by the government if their insurance does not cover it.
