(ANSA-AFP) – SYDNEY, MARCH 03 – Australian emergency services have ordered about 200,000 people to evacuate their homes due to heavy rains, which today are heading to Sydney after killing 13 people in the rest of the Village.
Authorities have issued a weather warning for heavy rains and strong winds for a 400-kilometer strip that stretches along Australia’s east coast, including the suburbs of Sydney, the country’s largest city (population 5 million).
For more than a week, torrential rains have been ravaging the east coast, between the states of Queensland and New South Wales. In the latter, authorities today ordered around 200,000 people to evacuate and asked another 300,000 to prepare to receive a similar order soon.
