In the town of Schulde were left helpless due to the water level, in Bonn they prayed for the arrival of the rescue teams and in the Netherlands and Belgium the reports of victims continue. More than a thousand people are still defined as missing following the disaster in West Germany, and some residents have begun to lose hope: "It was horrible not to be able to help"

More than 100 people have perished in floods that hit West Germany in the past week, and more than a thousand are still defined as missing, mainly in the face of the collapse of the cellular network in the area that makes it difficult to provide real-time information. Mental casualties were also recorded in the floods in Belgium, where 20 people were killed and another 30 are still missing. In the Netherlands, civilians were evacuated and have not yet been able to cope with the rising water level.

It took a few minutes until the inhabitants of a thriving town in one of the richest countries in the world became helpless in the face of a heavy flood that befell them. The inhabitants of the German town of Schuld had to fend for themselves as the heavy rainwater destroyed their homes and everything they relied on up to that time.

"It was horrible not being able to help people," said area resident Frank Tel." The neighbors waved at us from the windows. Houses collapsed to their right and left, and they were left trapped in the middle. We were lucky, we survived." He said that the residents of the area, which is south of the city of Boone, are facing the flood alone.
