Hungary village residents evacuated as precaution against flooding June 8, 2013 - 17:20 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The authorities have been evacuating people from a village in western Hungary as a precaution against flooding along the River Danube, BBC News reported. About 2,000 people were moved from Gyorujfalu late on Friday, June 7. Frantic flood defence work is taking place in the area. Some small towns and villages have been cut off and river levels are expected to peak in Budapest on Monday. Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned Hungary faces its worst floods. Widespread flooding in central Europe has inundated swathes of Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic, killing at least 15 people. In Hungary, the emergency services and volunteers are working to prevent the devastation seen last week further upstream in Germany. Along more than 700km (470 miles) of the river, thousands of people, including many volunteers and even convicts from the prisons, are reinforcing earth and sandbag barriers. Late on Friday, villagers were evacuated from Gyorujfalu, near the city of Gyor, because a dyke weakened after a landslide.
