low-pressure weather system brought heavy rainfall across western Europe in
mid-July 2021, which led to severe flooding that triggered at least 84,000
displacements across Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
Germany was badly affected, especially on 14 and 15 July, when
catastrophic floods in the western states of North Rhine-Westphalia and
Rhineland-Palatinate killed 182 people and triggered around 16,000
displacements, the highest figure for the country since 2013.459 It was
Germany’s costliest ever disaster and the deadliest in more than 60 years
