The death toll from the floods caused by Storm Boris that hit central Europe has risen, with more casualties recorded in Poland, Austria and the Czech Republic.

Eight deaths were recorded over the weekend in Poland, Romania and Austria, where a firefighter was killed during a flood rescue operation.
