Thousands of people have fled their homes in central Portugal after the Mondego River overflowed its banks, flooding roads, destroying vital infrastructure and leaving vast agricultural land under water.

According to authorities, at least 3,000 people were evacuated near the city of Coimbra after the dam burst. As a result, the village and the surrounding area were flooded. Part of the country's main highway collapsed there.

Hundreds of people across the country have been forced to flee their homes since the storms began in late January. At least 16 people were killed, the article claims.
