Description
English: The heavy snowfall that hit Romania in the last week of January 2023 caused widespread damage and disruptions across the country. Over 30,000 people were left without electricity, and road transportation was severely impacted by snow and ice. The affected areas saw fallen trees and electricity poles, while some low-lying regions were also flooded. The local authorities have been working to clear the roads, remove debris, and evacuate the water to restore normal conditions. This image captured by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 2 February 2023 provides a glimpse into the impact of the snowfall on the city of Tulcea, in the west of the country. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites enable the monitoring of snow-covered surfaces with high-resolution imaging.
