(ANSAmed) - BELGRADE, FEBRUARY 7 - The death toll of the
freezing temperatures in Serbia rose to 11 this morning, when a
woman was fatally hit by large slabs of ice and snow falling
from a roof.
The tragic accident, the Interior Ministry reports, took
place in the Vozdovac district. The woman died shortly after 10
am despite receiving health assistance.
Meanwhile, the authorities are freeing the most important
rivers from ice, starting with the Danube, which is frozen over
for around 100 km in Serbia territory. Explosives are set to be
used to blow up the blocks of ice.
Around 70 thousand people are isolated in villages and small
towns in Serbia, cut off because the roads cannot be used due to
snow and ice. (ANSAmed)
