More than 10 days after the storm, rescue teams are still searching for those missing, including in the southern village of Jablanica, which was buried under a barrage of rocks from a quarry in the hill above.

19 people were killed in Jablanica alone, with a collective funeral scheduled for Tuesday.

Over a thousand people from nearby towns and cities came to search for survivors and clear away debris in the village after the flooding, according to local media.

Residents of the town say they were awoken in the middle of the night by a thundering rumble as flood waters swept away property.

Debris from the flooding has clogged the famous Neretva River, a popular destination for tourists within and outside of Bosnia. The river, which is normally an emerald green colour, has been clogged with waste leftover from the floods.

Bosnia was hit by record temperatures this summer as three heatwaves caused disruptive blackouts and threatened the country’s agricultural industry.

The country saw almost no rain for an entire summer, with daily temperatures hovering between 35C and 40C for several days in June, July and August.

Scientists suggest that the drought caused by the extreme temperatures has hampered the easy absorption of floodwaters, making the damage caused by flooding more intense.
