Death toll due to devastating flooding reaches at least 15 as many areas brace for more torrential rain.
At least 15 people have now died in flooding caused by Storm Boris in central and eastern Europe, with many countries bracing for more torrential rain.
The flooding has been the worst central Europe has seen in at least two decades, authorities said on Monday.
Border areas between the Czech Republic and Poland were especially hit hard over the weekend, with surging water levels leading to collapsed bridges and damaged cars and houses.
The number of flood victims in southwestern Poland rose to five after the body of a surgeon returning from hospital duty was found in the town of Nysa on Monday morning, firefighters said.
Earlier, the bodies of two women and two men were found in the towns of Bielsko-Biala and Ladek-Zdroj, and in two villages.
