The president of Georgia declared Monday a day of national mourning for victims of flooding in the capital, Tbilisi. City officials say at least 12 people have died and more than 20 others are missing. The Vere River flooded the center of Tbilisi on Sunday after a day of heavy rains.

On Sunday, people were warned to stay at home because wild animals from the city’s zoo had escaped. A displaced hippopotamus was later discovered in a flooded street in front of a store. The animal was returned to the zoo after it was drugged. Witnesses said some animals were killed when they could not be captured.

The head of the Georgian Orthodox Church described the human and animal losses as “a terrible tragedy.”
