The floodings are especially dangerous for small children. Diarrhea and the spreading of the Dengue-Fever would crucially affect the youngest children. The provision of potable water, good hygenic conditions and moscito-nets are now very important. Whereever possible, Kindernothilfe is supporting the victims of the inundation with mobile toilets.

With two inflatable dinghies the rescue workers also reached families, who(se houses) were cut off by the floods. Kindernothilfe provided 30.000 Euro in order to cater for the immediate needs of the victims and is now calling for additional donations.
