The Flood Death Toll Rises to 165 in Germany

Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Germany: The victim died from the worst flood of Germany in living memories rose to 165 on Monday because emergency services continue to comb through destroyed cities in dozens of lost people who are still missing.
A rain flood fell from West Germany for two days last week, sending torrent water flowing into the streets, sweeping trees, cars and warehouses, and destroying housing plots.
Many victims have been found dead in the Sodden basement after trying to take valuables, while others were swept by thin water power.
Emergency workers have been going on to assess damaged buildings, clean up debris and restore gas, electricity and telephone services.
In some areas, the police have deployed speedboats and divers to take the body.
A total of 117 people are now beaten dead in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, a police spokesman told AFP, with 47 victims in neighboring North Rhine-Westphalia and one in Bavaria.
German Minister of Home Affairs Horst Seehofer and Armin Laschet, head of North Rhine-Westphalia and The Frontrunner to replace Angela Merkel as Chancellor, on Monday for visiting Euskirchen, one of the worst cities affected.
On Sunday, Merkel visited the city of Schuld, called the “shocking” destruction and called for the world to accelerate efforts to overcome the climate crisis.
The disaster has catapulted climate change to the agenda in Germany, ahead of September 26 polls which will mark the 16th year of Merkel.
Experts say that because the warm atmosphere has more water, climate change increases the risks and intensity of flooding from extreme rainfall.
Heavy rain has also beaten South Germany, and Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Austria in the last few days.
At least 31 people have died in Belgium.
High Death Tolls have also brought supervision to the German weather warning system and whether people in the risk zone are notified quite early.
