Australia has faced chaotic flood situations after massive rains, which has led to the evacuation of many people.
Helicopters and planes have rescued 53 of the most vulnerable residents of Burketown, home to about 200 people in northeastern Australia. Dozens more have been rescued from several flood-affected areas.
The authorities issued the alarm about the difficult situation, which endangered many residents, as the water level rose as the hours passed. Meteorologists have warned that the situation will not improve, as the massive rains will continue.
Continued torrential rains have swollen rivers and left many residents stranded in some areas.
Residents in Queensland are bracing for the peak of record flooding after being warned to evacuate immediately.
Authorities announced that the sewer system in the city had been compromised and there were power outages.
Since the areas are isolated, the emergency services have sent food and medicine to the affected.
