Polish town of Lewin Brzeski braces for dramatic flooding

Lewin Brzeski, in southwestern Poland, remains submerged in water after days of severe flooding, with many residents refusing to evacuate despite rising waters relying on boats for transport.

Though the full extent of the damage is still unclear, aid stations provide food and essentials to the locals.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has pledged billions in flood recovery aid for Central Europe, including €10 billion for urgent repairs in Poland, stressing swift action without requiring financial contributions from affected nations.
