Flood death toll rises to 187 in Germany and Belgium

The death toll from floods in Western Europe topped 180 on Sunday as rescue workers dug deeper into the rubble left behind by receding waters. Heavy rains prompted new flooding in southeastern Germany and Austria, though not on the scale of last week’s devastating attack.
Meanwhile, Chancellor Angela Merkel traveled to Schuld, a village on a bend in the Ahar River ravaged by the floods, to see the loss for herself. His visit came after Germany’s president visited the region on Saturday and made it clear it would require long-term support.
