1926 Flood Disaster Commemoration Held In Overasselt.

On this day in 1926, the dike breaches in the Land van Maas en Waal region, resulting in the destruction of 3,000 homes and forcing nearly 6,000 people to flee. Today, people gather in the same church where locals are warned about the broken dike in Overasselt, the Netherlands. (Photo by Romy Arroyo Fernandez/NurPhoto)
