Storm Gerda: Flight Cancellations Continue in France and Netherlands

Western Europe is preparing for new snowfall and frost due to Storm Gerda, which is causing transport disruptions. Around 100 flights have been cancelled at Paris airports, while in the Netherlands, KLM cancelled 600 flights from Schiphol Airport, resulting in thousands of passengers being stranded. Train services have also been disrupted in the Netherlands, and authorities are urging citizens to work from home if possible. Some flights have also been cancelled and delayed in Brussels. Snowfall is becoming increasingly rare in the Netherlands, a phenomenon linked to climate change.
