Massive floods off the east coast of Australia have claimed 20 lives in the region as sad news arrives from Sydney, where the dead bodies of a mother and her son were found in the mud as she abandoned her car in a ditch.
Tens of thousands of city dwellers have been advised to leave their homes at a time when flooding continues. We have 48 difficult hours ahead of us, warned the national meteorological office, adding that the torrential rain does not seem to stop.
Water-covered roads, collapsed roof of a shopping mall, people trapped in their cars, water flowing like a waterfall from a hillside onto a highway: the situation was depressing on the northern outskirts of Sydney, where flood damage had damaged bridge and house.
Emergency services have been put on alert by bad weather amid storms and torrential rains that have entered the second week as floods threaten the entire 2,000km coastline in New South Wales. Local officials liken the situation created by the floods to that of the devastating fires of 2020, linking it to the same level of damage suffered then.
