Comments:
In several towns within Bosnia and Herzegovina's Una-Sana canton, a state of natural disaster has been declared as a consequence of the recent floods caused by prolonged rainfall. Among the significantly affected areas is Bihac, where the CWS team is located. The floods have been triggered by the overflowing of the Una and Krusnica rivers, leading to consequential landslides and the temporary closure of roads. At present, it is estimated that approximately 200 buildings and houses have been impacted by the floods, including a significant area of agricultural land. Additionally, water contamination and shortages have been reported, along with the closure of three border crossings between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia. Thankfully, no casualties or injuries have been reported thus far in relation to the floods.
