Storm Goretti hits Europe/ Hundreds of flights canceled, passengers stranded

Western Europe is bracing for more snow and ice this Wednesday as Storm Goretti, the first storm of the year, batters the continent's Atlantic coast, causing transport chaos and widespread hardship for travelers.

In France and Belgium, hundreds of flights have been cancelled, leaving passengers stranded at airports. Drivers in the UK have been warned of dangerous road conditions, with authorities urging citizens to avoid unnecessary travel.

At Paris airports, the situation is problematic. Around 100 flights were canceled at Charles de Gaulle airport on Wednesday morning due to snowfall and low temperatures, while another 40 flights were canceled at Orly airport, the French Transport Minister announced.

Meanwhile, Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, one of the largest in Europe, announced the cancellation of at least 700 flights due to snow and strong winds, after several days of continuous travel disruptions due to bad weather.

The Nordic countries are also facing chaos caused by heavy snowfall. Officials in eastern Sweden have warned that power outages are "possible" due to the severe weather conditions./ CNA
