The outgoing Prime Minister declared a state of emergency
in flood-hit areas in northeast Hungary on Monday. The PM
said the declaration was necessary to help flood defence
forces in some 60 towns and villages get access to
immediate assistance from national sources.
Heavy rain and storms have caused serious damage and
thousands of residents have been displaced in several parts
of Hungary.
So far around 2,100 inhabitants have been forced to leave
their houses. Most of the displacement centres are in the
north-east, where 1,900 have been evacuated, some in
rubber boats, National Disaster Authority spokesman
Gyorgy Szentes told MTI.
Damage to the country's roads now total several hundred
million forints, road management company Magyar Kozut
told MTI in a statement. Seventy percent of Hungary's roads
have been flooded or washed out, the document added.
The M1 motorway has been fully closed near Gyor as a
result of flooding and will remain closed for several days.
The motorway is a major route connecting Budapest and
the main border crossing with Austria at Hegyeshalom.
