Severe flooding caused by heavy rainfall has inundated Voeren and Liège in Belgium, as well as parts of France and Germany.
The municipality of Voeren in Limburg has been severely impacted by heavy rainfall, causing extensive flooding in the area. Streets are submerged, houses inundated, and the local disaster plan has been enacted to manage the emergency.
“This is worse than in 2021,” stated Mayor Joris Gaens, referring to the devastating floods that hit Voeren and the province of Liège three years ago. Emergency shelters have been set up for those affected.
First time that Liège has ever been described as Northern in basically any context. It’s in Southeastern Belgium in Western Europe.
“Belgium is in Northern Europe” sounds like something ChatGPT would hallucinate. Or it’s bait to drive engagement.
