On 31 July, the Euro-Atlantic Disaster Response Co-ordination Centre received from the Republic of Moldova an urgent request for assistance in coping with flooding in the country.
Moldova has been struck by serious floods due to high water levels of the Nistru and Prut rivers in over a century. The floods have affected 46 settlements in 24 regions. More than seven thousand people have been evacuated.
In line with its procedures, the EADRCC has forwarded the request to NATO and partner countries and has begun publishing situation reports on the development of the situation, the assistance provided and the outstanding needs.
