Tragic storm in Bosnia: villages under rubble buried, 16 deaths!
in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the clean-up work according to the severe floods that the country have hit in the past few days are in full swing. The disaster protectors are still looking for missing people who may have fallen victim to the forces of nature. The small mountain village of Jablanica is particularly affected, where the combination of heavy rain and violent storms has led to devastating damage.
In Jablanica, railings are recorded from stone avalanches and degenades that have buried numerous houses under rubble. However, the massive amount of stones did not come from somewhere; It is believed that they come from a local quarry in the area. These circumstances have tightened the tragedy in the region considerably.
The extent of the tragedy
The authorities in Bosnia-Herzegovina originally reported that up to 18 people were reported as dead. After careful checking of the cases, however, this number was reduced to 16. Nermin Niksic, the head of government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBIH), made it clear that some deaths had been mistaken for several times. There are 12 people from Jablanica among the victims, while four other in adjacent areas died in the floods.The local police are currently examining to what extent the technical condition of the quarry has contributed to the tragedy. "You don't need a special investigator to see that the residents in this settlement were victims of the collapse of the entire hill," said Niksic in an interview. This statement illustrates the potential of human failure and the need for a precise analysis.
The challenges on site
The situation in the flood region is still tense. The country roads were temporarily impassable, and railway lines were also affected by the water. In several places, disaster protectors have brought people to safety by using boats. These emergency services do vital work to bring people out of the danger zone and to eliminate the damage as soon as possible.
The future development of the situation remains to be seen, as the authorities continue to do everything possible to find the missing persons and to cope with the devastating effects of the natural disaster.
