Heavy rain floods homes and crops in northern France

Days of heavy rain in northern France have caused local rivers to overflow and flood homes and fields, prompting the evacuation of residents, with some having to be airlifted to safety.

More than 100 cities are on red alert and about 200 schools in the region have been closed. Rescue workers also had to evacuate livestock.

"It's catastrophic," said 32-year-old farmer Gaetan Guche, whose poultry farm was flooded with up to 60 centimeters of water.

Environment Minister Christophe Bechu said dozens of cities would be considered in a natural disaster situation, making it easier for those whose homes or businesses were flooded to benefit from insurance coverage./ CNA
