Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate, Malu Dreyer, visited the disaster area on Sunday. Above all, they got an idea of ​​the situation in the Eifel town of Schuld, where the clean-up work is in full swing. Together they promised quick help and close coordination between the federal and state levels.
Merkel: “It’s frightening. I almost want to say that the German language hardly knows any words for the devastation that has been caused. And what I could see, however, is also incredibly comforting, how people stick together, how they help one another what solidarity there is. “
“We stand by their side. The federal government and the state will act together to bring the world back to order, step by step. In this beautiful area. And that means that we have to act quickly in the short term. But that also means that we need staying power. “
Dreyer: “Our structure is resilient and we will not rest until the people who are missing are really found. That we actually support the clean-up work on site. But we are all sure that we will have to work for many weeks, months to to bring this region back to the state it once was. This also applies to the other affected regions. ”
Merkel announced that she would come back in August. More than 150 people died in the flood disaster in Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany alone. However, it is still too early to know what the total damage will be.
