Herzegovina, Dhu Al-Hijjah 28, 1431 / Dec. 04, 2010, SPA -- Bosnia used soldiers, police, volunteers and divers early Saturday to help evacuate people from areas flooded in the northeast of the country. Officials said the rescuers used boats to help about 2,000 people flee their homes in the city of Bijeljina. To others they delivered food and drinking water as most suburbs had no electricity, water or phone lines, AP reported. Several Bosnian rivers burst their banks three days ago because of heavy rainfall. The river Drina that divides Bosnia from Serbia and Montenegro has caused most of the damage, forcing authorities in all three countries to evacuate thousands of people.
