Torrential showers in the last 24 hours caused floods in 29 areas in 12 counties in Romania, and in the village of Handreti, Iasi County, a man was found dead in a riverbed, the Inspectorate General for Emergency Situations (IGSU) announced on Tuesday.

"Road traffic is blocked on a national road (DN1/Prahova), partially affected on two national roads (DN 74/Alba and DN75/Alba) due to floods and flooded bridges and has been temporarily affected on two national roads (DN 57/Caras-Severin, DN 68A /Timis) and five county roads (DJ 582/Caras-Severin, DJ 761/Hunedoara, DJ 678E/Hunedoara, DJ 155F/Neamt and DJ 693/Timis), due to fallen trees on the road," according to IGSU.
