NATURKATASTROPHE: Hochwasser in Bayern noch dramatisch - schon beginnt der Streit um das Geld

NATURAL DISASTER: Floods in Bavaria still dramatic - the dispute over money is already beginning Southern Germany continues to fight the floods. The dykes are monitored around the clock, and fortunately no further breaches have occurred. The situation is particularly critical in eastern Bavaria, although the water level on the lower Danube is slowly falling. In Passau and Regensburg, the water levels remain at the highest level. Five fatalities have already been confirmed, but several people are still missing, which fuels fears of further victims. Michael Völkel has been protecting his hotel with boats since the 2013 flood, but the water always finds a way in, penetrating through bulkheads and joints. Passau is particularly badly affected: the Danube exceeded the 10-meter mark and the old town is flooded. Helpers placed 15,000 sandbags, but the damage is immense. The Bayerische Landesbank is providing 100 million euros, but the mayor of Passau is demanding additional support from the federal government, as affected businesses and private individuals will not survive without this help. The water levels are falling, but the toll remains shocking: at least five people are dead and others are missing. A woman from Neu-Ulm survived 50 hours in a tree before she was rescued. The situation remains tense, and after the disaster in Bavaria, people in Austria are now also preparing for the floods. #Flood, #Disaster, #SouthernGermany Subscribe to the WELT YouTube Channel    / weltvideotv   WELT DOKU Channel    / weltdoku   WELT Podcast Channel    / weltpodcast   WELT Network Reporter Channel    / dienetzreporter   The WELT news livestream http://bit.ly/2fwuMPg The top news on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2rQQD9Q The media library on WELT.de http://bit.ly/2Iydxv8 WELT news channel on Instagram   / welt.nachrichtensender   WORLD on Instagram   / welt   On a personal note: Due to the high volume of irrelevant and offensive posts, we are currently unable to accept any more comments.
