Six Number of Dead Raised by Floods in Slovenia

The total death toll from heavy rains and floods in Slovenia has increased to six, local media reported on Monday.

Slovenia's prime minister, Robert Golob, has described the torrential rains and huge floods that hit the two million-strong Alps' site as the worst natural disaster since the declaration of independence three decades ago.

The rains and landslides, which began Thursday, have flooded large parts of central and northern Slovenia, blocking access to villages and preventing traffic.

On Sunday, emergency teams pulled the body of a 35-year-old man from a river near the village of Mirna Perc, east of the country.

Another man, who was participating in cleaning operations, was found dead after falling into a water hole near the town of Kamnik, near Ljubljana, local media reported.

The bodies of two Slovenians and two Dutch citizens were found earlier.

On Monday, rescue workers tried to open roads in remote and remote countries, while also praising the damage the country's government has said could exceed 500m euros.

Slovenia, a member of the European Union (BE), has asked the bloc for help -- in particular heavy machinery, such as ecstasyrs and temporary pre-fabricated bridges -- to cope with the consequences of the floods. It has also asked NATO to offer helicopters and soldiers.

The first truck with humanitarian aid and food arrived from Hungary on Sunday evening. Croatia offered him a military helicopter to help close it and secure a clay on the Mura River.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has said his country will send emergency workers, as well as <x0throndur” to “the tremendous flood disaster in Slovenia and Austria”.
