Following floods in Moldova, they have now given us a new update:

 John Groza, Mission Without Borders Moldova National Manager shares:Thank you for your support and prayers at this difficult time. We would like to inform you that the situation in the three villages most affected by the flooding remains critical. Although the flood waters are subsiding little by little each day, as it does it reveals collapsed houses and damaged gardens. The people affected continue to live in relative’s homes, school sport’s halls and kindergartens from neighbouring villages.Thanks to your support we have been able to visit the victims 5 times since the flooding began, with stock we had waiting in our warehouse and farms. We have delivered truckloads of vegetables, food products, clothes, shoes and furniture. Our sixth visit was a truck we received from Holland that went straight to the affected area. It contained mattresses, paint, beds and other essential household items. The local Authorities and victims were so thankful for all they have recevied.Please pray for us as we continue to help wherever poossible and for our local government who now see a total of 1,000 homes that have to be re-built before the worst of winter takes hold.Yours sincerely,John Groza

============================================

Recent persistent heavy rain in south-western Moldova has caused flooding and devastation for many rural families in Moldova. In recent weeks 3,000 people have been evacuated as the Prut River burst its banks after days of heavy rain. In one week alone, over 60 communities across 14 districts were flooded. The worst affected district is Hincesti, where three villages are currently under water. Over 2,000 people (including 417 children) from Nemteni, Cotul Morii and Obileni villages have now been evacuated from their flooded homes. All are now sheltering in local sports halls, kindergartens and schools in neighbouring villages.According to local authorities, the flooding has damaged almost 2,000 hectares of farmland and orchards. Villages in the southern area of Moldova are still at risk. Crops, animals, poultry and whole livelihoods have been lost – causing devastation for many families.

What you can do

Pray for the flood victims – for emergency aid to reach them and for their re-settlement. Pray for the Moldovan Government – for God to enable them to handle the disaster situation effectively.Donate – your cash donation today is the best way to get help to victims of the Moldovan floods. We have an ‘Urgent Needs Fund’ which we need to dip into during crisis like these. It will be used to provide food parcels, blankets, clothes and shoes. We provide as much as we can through our Gift in Kind deliveries, but without our ‘Urgent Needs Fund’ we could not provide the help the families and communities need now. Please give where you can!
