Large parts of Ukraine and Romania have been flooded after heavy rainfall caused a number of rivers to burst their banks. The authorities have declared a state of emergency in the affected areas. Moldova has also been hit by flooding.
In Ukraine, 13 people drowned in what the government says is the worst flooding in a century. Thousands were evacuated from dozens of villages and more than 20,000 houses have been flooded.
In northeastern Romania, three vacationers were killed when a landslide swept away the hut in which they had sought shelter. Dozens of villages have been inundated and bridges and roads severely damaged by the swollen rivers.
