Australia’s most populous state of New South Wales (NSW) has been experiencing extreme weather conditions as record rainfall is triggering burst riverbanks, dam spillover, roadblocks and evacuations.
Fire and rescue teams rescued more than a hundred people in the past 30 hours. Evacuation orders have been issued for more than 4,000 people in NSW.
The severe weather condition also affected the delivery of the COVID-19 vaccines in Sydney and across multiple regional NSW locations.
