Today, the situation in the town is getting
a bit better, the water is withdrawing from the main streets and the pumping
the water out of the flooded premises has started. But still, there are parts
of the town that are completely flooded.

There are collective centers established
for over 6000 people who had to be evacuated from their homes. There is growing
concern because there is an order to evacuate some 10,000 people from the parts
of the town called Batkovic, Brodac, Ostojici, Balatan, Valino Selo and all
these people need to be accommodated in collective centers that have been set
up in primary and secondary schools in Bijeljina as the flooding of these parts
has started.
