Flood-battered Germany approves major relief package


flood europe worthy ministries(Worthy News) – Chancellor Angela Merkel’s cabinet approved a huge emergency aid package Wednesday for flood-stricken regions of Germany and said billions would be needed to rebuild homes, businesses and vital infrastructure.

A week into the region’s worst flooding disaster in living memory, which has killed at least 170 in Germany and 31 more Belgium, the right-left “grand coalition” government unlocked some 400 million euros ($470 million) in immediate relief.
