Thousands more people in Australia’s Sydney have been told to evacuate their homes as torrential rains continued to batter the country’s east coast, worsening a crisis in a city that has seen at least three flood emergencies in a year and a half.
About 50,000 residents in the state of New South Wales (NSW), most in Sydney’s western suburbs, were told to either evacuate on Tuesday or warned they might receive evacuation orders, authorities said.
