(COMBO) This combination of photos taken in Wroclaw, southwest Poland and created on September 19, 2024 shows the entrance doors of different buildings and businesses protected with sandbags and tarpaulin against the flood, among them the National Museum (top row, C), Wroclaw University (top row, R; bottom row L), a shop (2nd row, L), and the Academy of Arts (bottom row, C). Strong wind and heavy rains struck the region last week, killing five people in Austria, seven in Poland, seven in Romania and five people in the Czech Republic. Struck by devastating floods in 1997, residents of Wroclaw had become increasingly concerned as the waters rose. They reached their peak early on September 18. While the water level is lower than it was in 1997, dams could be at risk if the high water lasts for several days. (Photo by Sergei GAPON / AFP)
