Tel Aviv City Hall lit up with German flag for flood victims

Tel Aviv City Hall was lit up with the German flag on Sunday night in solidarity with the victims of the devastating floods in western Europe.

The death toll from the floods has climbed to more than 180.

In a statement, Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai said: "Condolences to the German people and to our many friends in our partner cities in Germany. On behalf of the residents of Tel Aviv-Yafo, I send wishes for a quick recovery from this terrible disaster."

Climate scientists say the link between extreme weather and global warming is unmistakable and the urgency to tackle climate change undeniable.

Scientists can't yet say for sure whether climate change caused the flooding, but they insist that it certainly exacerbates the extreme weather disasters on display around the world.
