100 liters of rain per square meter fell during the night, and the streams caused floods in several villages of Svilajnac municipality. The rain, which isn't stopping, flooded hundreds of yards, and it entered many houses.
The most difficult situation is in Kusiljevo, which is practically cut off from the world. Due to the flooding of the stream and the waters coming down from the neighboring hills, the main road out of the village is flooded, the center of the village is also underwater, 20 houses are flooded, and the water reached the village ambulance.
- We have declared an emergency situation in Kusiljevo. The teams from the Sector for Emergency situations, Serbia Waters and the Police are on the scene. They are placing sandbags to save the village from further floods - the president of municipality Predrag Milanovic said.
Vesna Djordjevic from Kusiljevo is the first local who was evacuated from her home. The water flooded her basement and garage and it reached her front door. She is currently placed in the local community office.
- I live alone and luckily I recently sold my cattle and my car. That would be under water now as well. In 48 years, since I started living in Kusiljevo, I haven't seen this amount of water in the village - Vesna said and adds that she doesn't know when will she be able to return to her home.
