서유럽 홍수 사망자 160명 넘어…독일 141명•벨기에 27명

The death toll from catastrophic flooding in Western Europe... caused by historic levels of rainfall... has risen to at least 160.
As the waters start to recede and reveal the extent of the damage, in Germany, at least 141 people have been reported dead, according to local media, and many more are still missing.
In Belgium, the authorities have confirmed at least 27 deaths.
Local reports say tens of thousands of Belgian households have no access to drinking water.
Luxembourg and the Netherlands were also affected, but they have not reported any fatalities.
Parts of Western Europe last week got more than a month's worth of rain in 24 hours.
