New floods have again swamped areas of Belgium and washed away cars as a wave of thunderstorms and heavy rain hit the country. The same regions southeast of Brussels had already been devastated by floods that left 36 dead last week.

Discarded and damaged household items lay on a roadside after flooding in Vaux-sous-Chevremont, Belgium, Saturday, July 24, 2021. Residents were still cleaning up after heavy rainfall hit the country causing flooding in several regions.

The provinces of Namur and Walloon Brabant south-east of the capital city Brussels were particularly hit. They had already been impacted by the devastating floods that left 36 people dead and seven missing in the nation with 11.5 million inhabitants last week. Heavy rainfall caused significant damage in Dinant, where piles of cars were strewn across the town. Deputy mayor Robert Closset said firefighter were deployed to tackle floods he described as worse than last week.

The confirmed death toll from last week’s floods in Belgium and neighboring countries passed 210 this week and the economic cost is expected to run into the billions.

My heart goes out to the people of Belgium.

They were warned about climate change
