Entire towns were inundated by the flooding, with roads and bridges washed out by the water, as can be seen in the photos above. Much of the worst damage occurred in the western German state of Rhineland-Palatinate along the Ahr River.

The extent of the damage is yet to be determined, but the rebuild is expected to cost billions. Germany's Cabinet approved a roughly 400-million-euro package on Wednesday to aid flood victims.

More than 4,500 civil defense workers, firefighters and soldiers have been deployed for the cleanup efforts, the AP reported.
