Part of Olomouc Region completely cut off due to impassable roads and flooding

Part of the Olomouc Region in northern Moravia is currently inaccessible due to impassable roads, many of which have been undermined by flooding, according to police. Authorities are urging drivers to avoid the area around the town of Jeseník. The main road I/44 between Jeseník and Česká Ves has been washed away by the swollen river Bělá. Fallen trees and road damage are hampering evacuation efforts, with firefighters focusing on rescuing residents in Jesenicko and Šumpersko. No public transport services are running in Jesenicko, and many roads in the region remain closed due to flooding or fallen debris.
