SOME HAVE CALLED it ‘Armageddon’ – the intense floods that have struck the Balkans over the past week.

Authorities say that the damage has seen Bosnia witnessing “the biggest exodus” since the 1992-1995 war, while so far 47 people have been killed.

As fears grow that dead bodies and animal carcasses could lead to disease outbreaks, officials also warn that 120,000 unexploded mines could be dislodged.

The flooding has unearthed landmines left over from the 1990s war, as well as washing away the signs that marked them.

More than 100,000 people have been evacuated in Bosnia alone, with dozens of towns and villages cut off, and over 2,000 landslides already reported.

Water levels are expected to continue rising in the coming days.
