Hope on the flutruin: How emergency lighting courage in Klodzko

Von Kl Redaktion

In the Polish city of Klodzko, which is affected by the flood, people are desperately fighting with the enormous destruction. A street lamp, which is almost completely sunk in the mud, symbolizes the relentless struggle for hope and strength, as Malgorzata Chrostowska reports. She and her husband recently collected aid goods and brought them to Poland - since then they have been shaped by shocking pictures. "The willingness to sacrifice is overwhelming, but the bureaucratic hurdles for state aid are a tragedy," says the 32-year-old. Many who have lost everything don't know where to go.

aid organizations such as "Fortuna helps" from Gemünd are also active and have already sent several transports to the region that contain many goods for affected animal shelters and urgently needed foods. "The location on site is alarming. The reconstruction will take years," reports Rebecca Müller. While numerous auxiliary camps are well filled, the organizational effort remains enormous. The helpers emphasize that there is now no time for political disputes about guilt and responsibility - instead, the focus is on the immediate help for those affected. The young volunteers plan to initiate further donations and organize donations in order to be able to support them in a targeted manner.
