Floods

Severe flooding has recently impacted both Kosovo and Indonesia, causing significant humanitarian crises. In Kosovo, emergency crews conducted evacuations as entire cities and villages were submerged. The floods have devastated infrastructure and forced residents from their homes. Simultaneously, Indonesia has experienced deadly floods across North Sumatra, West Sumatra, and Aceh, resulting in over 1,170 fatalities and widespread displacement. Communities are struggling to recover, with many left homeless and attempting to clear debris. The floods in Indonesia occurred in late December 2025, with residents holding Christmas mass amidst the wreckage, highlighting the resilience of the affected communities despite the ongoing devastation. These events are newsworthy due to the scale of destruction, loss of life, and the ongoing recovery efforts required in both regions.
