Despite improvements in Poland's weather and water levels, emergency conditions persist in many rivers, especially in the southwestern part of the country. This has led the Polish government to expand the state of disaster and launch a recovery plan.
The flood has also impacted the arts sector, causing delays and cancellations of concerts and other events.
The damage from the flood has particularly affected the area where one of Poland's most renowned authors, Olga Tokarczuk, lives. The Nobel laureate has voiced her concerns and issued a special appeal through social media.
"Areas like Kłodzko, Lądek-Zdrój, Stronie Śląskie, and many other towns need help," Tokarczuk stated, referring to the southwestern regions of Poland that are close to her due to her residence.
She requested financial and material support for the flood victims and urged people to show interest by providing helpful information.
"This tragic time calls for your solidarity," Tokarczuk emphasized, providing details on account numbers where her fans and readers from around the world can donate.
"As a resident of the Kłodzko County who was fortunate to escape the worst of the disaster, but who has only recently become fully aware of the extent of the damage due to power outages and lack of information, I am grateful for any form of support," concluded Tokarczuk.
The following graphic illustrates the extent of the damage caused by the flood in Kłodzko, southwestern Poland. The city has been inundated once again, with a similar devastating flood occurring there 27 years ago in 1997.
