Democrats for Strong Bulgaria (DSB) will demand inspection over the distribution of flood aid funds, DSB member Antonela Poneva said.

Some of the companies that participated in the recovery process lack the resource needed for such projects, Poneva said. Disaster Management Minister Emel Etem presented different accounts of flood allocation, leaving large sums unaccounted for, said Poneva.

Today it became clear Nikopol citizens will receive humanitarian aid worth 5000 leva. The city suffered most from the latest Danube floods in Bulgaria.

The Bulgarian Red Cross will be responsible for the provision of the aid. Nikopol’s hospital, school and kindergarten will receive parts of the donation.

Nearly 15 000 leva for recovery works will be provided with the aid of the Red Cross representative office in Pleven.

According to experts, the river level near Danube decreased by one cm yesterday. Currently, the river level is 978 cm. It will be maintained in the coming days and is expected to increase slightly afterwards.
