PARIS, Sha'ban 26, 1437, June 02, 2016, SPA -- A woman was killed and thousands of homes were evacuated in the central French regions along the Loire and Seine rivers after days of almost non-stop rain caused the worst floods in a century in some areas, Reuters reported. Paris has been on flood alert for the last two days, with the Seine bursting its banks and swamping riverside highways, causing all river traffic, including the popular "bateaux-mouches" tourist cruises, to be suspended. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said on Thursday the government expected great difficulties in some areas in the coming hours. "We are still very worried," he told reporters at a crisis room in the French capital. On Wednesday, an 86-year-old woman was found dead in her flooded home in Souppes-sur-Loing, about 85 miles south of the French capital, the interior ministry said. Floods have also killed at least four people in neighbouring Germany. --SPA 13:42 LOCAL TIME 10:42 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
