Lithuania to send aid to flood-hit Moldova

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.

In response to the call from the Government of Moldova, Lithuania is sending the following relief supplies: 10 motor rubber boats, 9 rubber boats, 150 pairs of rubber boots.

The relief is scheduled to leave for Moldova later today.

Lithuania has already shipped relief supplies to disaster-hit Ukraine and Romania.
