The Czech humanitarian organization People in Need has opened a Call for Donations to help the victims of floods, which have badly hit towns and villages in Moravia - the eastern part of the Czech Republic. According to the most recent information the floods have caused at least 11 casualties. Many houses are flooded or have collapsed and there is a huge damage on infrastructure. Meteorologists forecast high rain falls and have issued flood warnings on several other places in the country. The aid coordinated by People in Need will concentrate on immediate flood relief.

Donations can be made by bank transfer to the CSOB Bank, account number 7202 7202 / 0300 (IBAN format: CZ6703000000000072027202) and you can also donate by sending the text message DMS POVODNE09 to the number 87777.

People in Need is building on its experience from flood assistance in 1997 and 2002. "At the moment we are in touch with mayors of most of the affected municipalities. The situation is fundamentally under control in most of the areas. The aid of People in Need focuses primarily on drying the flooded houses. We are ready to supply 200 of drying equipments and provide assistance with purification of water sources", said Marek Štys, director of the humanitarian section of the PIN.
