Widespread flooding has left at least 11 dead in Belgium, RTBF said on July 15, with red alerts in place in several provinces.

Evacuations were in place for areas along the Vesdre River, local reports said, with several other rivers in flood, or at risk of overflowing.

Prime Minister Alexander De Croo called the situation “unprecedented”.
