Warsaw - South-eastern Poland faced additional damage due to flooding, with more than 10 000 hectares of land under water on Sunday, a crisis centre spokesperson reported.

Water reportedly flooded more than 1 200 buildings, forcing dozens of persons to flee their homes.

The flood situation, however, stabilised in other areas of Poland as the water level sank moderately in the Mazurian lake region.

The fire services in lower Silesia called off the search for two youths, aged 13 and 18, who were swept away by flood waters on Saturday.

A spokesperson said the chances of their survival was near zero due to the low temperatures and torrential flow of water. - Sapa-dpa
