The death toll from a deep freeze in Poland has increased to 30 with a dozen more deaths overnight, while some of the worst floods in a century devastated parts of the Balkans.
Many of those who died in Poland are drunks or homeless people and police canvassed the streets Friday in the hopes of preventing more from freezing to death. Temperatures across most of Poland were around -15 C (5 F).
Authorities, meanwhile, declared a state of emergency in three Balkan countries — Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro — and evacuated hundreds of people after heavy rainfall caused severe flooding along the Drina River — the worst in 104 years.
