A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Romania as severe flooding has devastated the Roma community in Murgeni.
Flood Crisis in Romania – Help the Roma Children

 

As many as 27 villages and towns are under water after the Danube burst its banks due to heavy seasonal flooding. Star of Hope is urgently responding to the situation, coordinating relief efforts, and appealing for public support.

What has happened?

Extreme weather has triggered widespread flooding across Central Europe, leaving thousands homeless in Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Romania. Floodwaters have inundated homes and businesses, causing extensive damage and forcing mass evacuations. Many regions have declared states of natural disaster, and widespread power outages have compounded the crisis.

The Impact:

  • Loss of life: Four people have tragically lost their lives, and thousands have been affected by the flooding.
  • Homelessness: Homes have been inundated, leaving many Roma families displaced.
  • Children in need: 50 children have been evacuated to a nearby sports hall and require essential supplies like clean water, food, and clothing.

The Appeal for Help:
