Pasta, oil and meat cans heading for Obileni

A truck with food products designed for flood victims this morning has left for Obileni village of Hancesti district. The Center for Combating Corruption and Economic Crime (CCCEC) is taking 5 tonnes of water, pasta, flour, oil and meat cans to residents of Nemteni, Cotul Morii and Obileni villages, who left their homes and took refuge in the school in Obileni, Info-Prim Neo reports. In a communique, the CCCEC says the one-workday salary of the Center's employees, in the amount of 100,000 lei, will be transferred to the accounts opened to help the flood victims. Over 300 houses were flooded in the three villages of Hancesti district. The Prut water advances towards other settlements. About 30 houses have been inundated in Macaresti, Ungheni. The village's mayor Sergiu Siscanu told Info-Prim Neo the people were evacuated to the local school or their relatives. The meadows and several gardens in Costuleni, Ungheni, have been flooded. Mayor Veaceslav Obor said the houses are not exposed to the danger of being inundated as, after the floods of 1988, the people built houses far from the Prut River. “The gardens of three families that remained on the waterside were flooded,” the mayor said.
