France is grappling with severe flooding as the depression Kirk wreaks havoc across the country.

The Seine-et-Marne and Eure-et-Loir regions are on red alert due to rising waters, with the Grand Morin river overflowing and inundating towns like Pommeuse and Crécy-la-Chapelle.

Residents are struggling to protect their homes, with some areas experiencing their fourth flood this year.

The French government has mobilized emergency services, with over 3,700 interventions reported.

Despite the cessation of rain in some areas, the threat of further flooding remains as waters continue to rise.

The situation highlights the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, attributed to climate change, prompting calls for better preparedness and resilience strategies.
