ACT Appeal

Romania/Moldavia - EURO52, REVISION 1

Assistance to Flood Affected in Moldavia

Geneva, 21 September 2005

Appeal Target: US$ 411,255

Balance Requested from ACT Alliance: US$ 35,634

The third wave of flooding in Romania started on 20 August 2005, hitting the southern regions of the country. Two counties, Mures and Cluj, have been severely devastated by flash floods, while another county, Harghita, was struck by a sudden two metre- high wave. The flash floods hit the eastern side of Harghita county particularly hard, devastating 15 villages and the administrative capital of the county, Odorheiu Secuiesc. The flooding was most intense in the period from 24-25 August, when waves as high as four metres (13 feet) swept the town of Odorheiu Secuiesc and surrounding villages. Thirteen people were killed, another five were declared missing and 1,400 houses were flooded. Large buses and trucks were thrown about like small toys, and houses were either flooded instantly or destroyed. Bridges have fallen apart. Electricity and communications in many villages around Odorheiu Secuiesc are cut off .

This Revision is to include ACT member AIDRom’s response to this latest flood affected area - the Harghita Region. In this region AIDRom will focus on post crisis assistance as immediate emergency response has already been provided by several humanitarian aid organisations.

The activities that will be undertaken in the post crisis phase are assistance with house repair and refurbishing, farm inputs and community infrastructure rehabilitation.

Project Completion Date: 30 April 2006
