•According to the report of UN Country Team in Bosnia and Herzegovina (as of 25 May): 24 people were killed (number not officially confirmed), more than 2 000 landslides damaged roads and homes around the country (over 1 000 landslides only in Tuzla Canton); many roads were still in need of repair on 25 May and many areas remained without electricity. The affected population is estimated to be 1.5 million people (as of 24 May, UN, see Table in the map).
