]]> Some Roma in Ostrava complain about the alleged unequal treatment of officials and the reluctance to pay them flood aid. According to the testimony of some Roma who lost their property, the conditions for obtaining this assistance are discriminatory and the attitude of the office staff was in some cases arrogant.

]]> The Cech towns of Krnov and Opava are struggling with the consequences of devastating floods that affected both cities. Flooded houses, mud and damaged infrastructure crippled the lives of local residents. The Roma community, like other residents, have lost everything and are in desperate need of basic assistance, including masonry dryers, hygiene supplies and food. Rescue work is complicated by a lack of equipment and access to the most affected areas, where coordinated interventions by volunteers, organizations and the army are taking place. Every minute is now crucial for the recovery of the affected cities.
