UPDATE 2-Bosnia says 1 million affected by floods, destruction
"terrifying"
Mon May 19, 2014 2:51pm BST
* Volunteers, soldiers build sandbag defences
* At least 38 killed in Balkan region
* Bosnia says 1 million cut off from clean water (Recasts with Bosnian
foreign minister)
.
MAGLAJ, Bosnia/KRUPANJ, Serbia, May 19 (Reuters) - More than a quarter of
Bosnia's four million people have been affected by the worst floods to hit
the Balkans in more than a century, the government said on Monday, warning
of "terrifying" destruction comparable to the country's 1992-95 war.
.
The floods extended across Serbia and Bosnia, where receding waters in
some of the worst-hit areas are now revealing the extent of the
devastation. Homes have been toppled or submerged in mud, trees felled and
villages strewn with the rotting corpses of livestock.
.
"The consequences of the floods are terrifying," Bosnian Foreign Minister
Zlatko Lagumdzija told a news conference. "The physical destruction is not
less than the destruction caused by the war." He said more than 100,000
houses and other buildings were no longer usable. "During the war, many
people lost everything," he said. "Today, again they have nothing."
.
More than a million people in Bosnia were been cut off from clean water
supplies, Lagumdzija said, after torrential rains caused rivers to burst
their banks and triggered more than 2,000 landslides.
.
The discovery of a body in northern Bosnia on Monday raised the regional
death toll to at least 38, but the figure was likely to rise further.
.
Even as the crisis eased in some areas, a new flood wave from the swollen
River Sava threatened others, notably Serbia's largest power plant, the
Nikola Tesla complex, 30 km (18 miles) southwest of the capital, Belgrade.
.
In Bosnia, one official said as many as 500,000 people had been evacuated
or left their homes, the kind of human displacement not seen since more
than a million were driven out by ethnic cleansing in the Bosnian war two
decades ago. At least 25,000 people have been evacuated in Serbia.
