A dreadful, 6 meter high, sixth flood wave coming from the Ukrainian province of Chernivtsi upstream the Prut is about to hit Moldova, increasing risks of further damages in the villages located along the river. In Criva village, Briceni district, efforts are under way to strengthen the local dam with 5,000 sand sacks. Other 1,300 sacks are prepared to be used if need be. Over 100 people are working on the construction of a 2.5 kilometer long makeshift dam in Drepcauti, same district. A first home was flooded in Ungheni town, with the family being evacuated to relatives. 3,100 sand sacks were used to reinforce the dam on a distance of 2.7 kilometers. In Macarasti, Ungheni district, 42 houses were already flooded, and 1,000 sand sacks are being arranged to prevent further damage. In Nemteni, Hancesti district, where 200 homes were flooded, groups of people were assembled to search domestic animals and fowls abandoned in the haste of the evacuation. Concurrently, a barrage is being built in the vicinity of the school where people were offered refuge. Rescuers, including 4 divers, and over 1,000 military troops are involved in these activities. In the neighboring village of Cotul Morii, where over 1,000 people were displaced by the floods, rescuers from Moldova and Romania teamed up to reinforce the dams.
