My thoughts are naturally for the affected and the families of the disappeared. May God accompanies them in this difficult time ! For the moment, and following my instructions, the coordination of response actions is provided by the departmental delegations, the various town halls of the municipalities flooded and the technical units of the PC. All members of the government are also mobilized to assist families in need. A distribution of 20,000 additional baskets of solidarity, will be ensured immediately by the FAES in favor of victims. The Government has also ensured that the delegations have sufficient resources to deal with this emergency situation. This event confirms the extreme vulnerability of our country and the consequences are, unfortunately, still considerable. We continue to assess the situation hourly and to identify all flooded areas to continue to make the necessary arrangements. Also, I renew my sympathies to the people affected by this bad weather and I give the assurance that everything is already implemented in order to help and support them.
