The massive flooding that hit western Germany have killed at least 81 people and wiped out several houses. There are still more than 1,300 people unaccounted for in the Ahrweiler region, possibly due to mobile networks being down.
Rescue workers continue searching for missing people on Friday.
Police in Koblenz stressed that people should not go to affected areas to search for their relatives or belongings. “You put yourself in danger and, possibly, hinder the rescue measures,” police said on Twitter.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has pledged full support for the victims of some of the country’s worst flooding in decades.
