SYDNEY — Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Sunday (March 15) that troops would be deployed to help communities hit by a days-long flood emergency in the country’s north.<\/p>\n

Albanese said the centre-left government had approved deployment of Australian Defence Force personnel to help communities around the flood-hit Northern Territory town of Katherine, about 264km south of territory capital Darwin.<\/p>\n

“To everyone doing it tough right now, know we are with you through the response and through the recovery,” Albanese said on social media platform X.<\/p>\n

Emergency Services Minister Kristy McBain said in televised remarks that the troops would be deployed for up to 14 days.<\/p>\n

Authorities, grappling with floods sparked by heavy rain in the Northern Territory and neighbouring Queensland state, said this week they recovered two bodies in a search for two Chinese backpackers who went missing in ​floods in ⁠Queensland’s Gympie region.<\/p>\n
