Soldiers are being deployed to Somerset to bring relief to villages cut off by flooding.

The Government has agreed to send the Army to the Somerset Levels, which has seen 65 square kilometres of land swamped after the most significant flooding for 20 years.

Specialist vehicles are being brought in so troops can deliver food to stricken villagers, transport people and deliver sandbags.

The Ministry of Defence said last night it was deploying military planners to help Somerset County Council, adding that soldiers would be on the ground in the county from this morning.
