US President Barack Obama has signed a disaster declaration for flooded Louisiana, where at least five people have died and emergency workers have had to rescue over 20,000 people.
On Sunday, a major disaster was declared in the state’s hardest-hit areas, including East Baton Rouge, Livingston, St. Helena and Tangipahoa. Obama’s move freed up federal funding, which can now be used to provide additional emergency aid.
