10 die, animals escape zoo in flooded Tbilisi, Georgia (Updated)


“The number of people killed in the flood has grown to 10,” a spokesman at the State Security and Crisis Management Council told AFP. “Rescuers are among the dead. The number of missing people is being established. At least 36 people have been hospitalised, including 16 with multiple fractures.”

The floods turned the streets and squares into raging torrents, sweeping away cars and flooding houses in the ex-Soviet state.
