The European Commission (EC) announced on Sunday (July 4th) that four of its members — Belgium, Austria, France and Estonia — have offered Romania help in dealing with the heavy floods that hit the country amid torrential rains over the past week.
Romania’s request for assistance was made on Friday. Authorities in Bucharest said they have accepted the aid offered from Belgium and Austria. Austria offered ten dirty water pumps and three power generators, while Belgium will provide 11 pumps, five power generators, a water purification unit and its conditioning unit. Romania is currently analysing the offers from France and Estonia.
