A region the size of France underwater, 159k unhoused, many towns with no way in or out, supplies being airdropped, who knows how many places without water and food
It's not as big as France, even though it's covered very populated areas in 450 municipalities. There are actually over 300k affected homes with over 500k displaced, of which over 80k are in emergency shelters. The damage to transportation, water and electricity infrastructure was immense.
Source: I've been displaced from the capital because of water and energy cuts.
