STORYLINE:
Rescuers in Bosnia reached hundreds of flooded homes by boats, handing out food and water to residents who remained trapped after sudden flooding on Wednesday.

After days of torrential rain, river Una near the western city of Bihac rose over four metres (13.12 feet) and burst its banks.

The village of Pokoj near Bihac was among the worst affected, with nearly all the homes flooded.

Some residents complained of an inadequate response from the authorities.
