See in the video: Merkel expresses her condolences to relatives of the flood victims – “My thoughts are at home”.

Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday in Washington DC (USA): Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you will understand that here in Washington, too, during these hours my thoughts are always with the people at home, with the people who live in the Flood areas in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate. And from here I want to send you a token of sympathy and solidarity. Incidentally, I can say that I have received many messages from my European colleagues who show solidarity with Germany and also offer us help. “//” Peaceful places are experiencing a catastrophe during these hours. You could say a tragedy. Heavy rain and floods describe this as words only very inadequately. For that very reason it is really a catastrophe. I am shocked by the reports that have reached me from the places that are now completely under water, in which the people in dire need on the roofs of their houses and hopefully will be saved. I mourn those who lost their lives in this catastrophe. We don’t yet know the number. But there will be many. Some in the basements of their houses. Some as firefighters trying, others to bring them to safety and their families, I extend my heartfelt condolences. “
