Moldova was hit by the worst flooding in the past one hundred years. The risen waters of the rivers Prut and Dniester submerged 46 settlements, destroyed about a hundred houses and caused evacuation of about six thousand people, leaving thousands shelterless.
Four countries have given humanitarian aid to people hurt by the recent flood in Moldova, said Moldova Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Stepanyuk.
The lives of disabled orphans in Moldova will be brightened by a group of caring children and church supporters.
The government reopened the Sculeni checkpoint at the border with Moldova early Sunday (August 3rd), following a joint Romanian-Moldovan decision. The very high level of the Prut River had forced its closure. Traffic through the Stanca checkpoint resumed on Saturday.
