PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech finance ministry will provide 30 billion crowns ($1.34 billion) to tackle flood damage under an amendment of its 2024 budget and will allocate a further 10 billion crowns next year for the same purpose, news agency CTK reported on Thursday.
The worst floods to hit central Europe in at least two decades have left a trail of destruction across central Europe, killing at least 24 people.
