WARSAW (AP) — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited a flood-stricken region in Europe to assess the damage and offer support. The recent floods have caused widespread devastation, displacing thousands of people and destroying homes and infrastructure.

Von der Leyen pledged billions of euros in swift aid to assist the affected communities in their recovery efforts. The European Union is committed to providing immediate assistance to those in need and ensuring that resources are mobilized efficiently to address the aftermath of the natural disaster.

The EU chief's visit underscored the importance of solidarity and cooperation in times of crisis. Von der Leyen expressed her sympathy for the victims of the floods and emphasized the EU's commitment to standing by them during this challenging period.

The funds allocated for the aid package will be used for emergency relief, reconstruction, and long-term recovery efforts. The EU will work closely with local authorities and humanitarian organizations to ensure that the assistance reaches those most affected by the disaster.

As the cleanup and rebuilding process begins, the EU's support will be crucial in helping the region recover and rebuild stronger than before. Von der Leyen's visit served as a symbol of unity and support, demonstrating the EU's solidarity with the flood-affected communities.

The European Commission will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide additional assistance as needed to help the region recover from the devastating impact of the floods.
