Members of Ahmadiyya Muslim community gathered in Stolberg on Saturday, to help the inhabitants who've been affected by the recent severe floods.
"It's not all of our group that is helping now here, on site. We are also spread countrywide, whenever the help is currently needed," said the head of the Ahmadiyya community in Neuss, Sahir Ahmed, adding that "from the Neuss Ahmadiyya community, around 25 members are deployed. Twelve are present here today and the rest, some went to Euskirchen and some others to Neuwied."
"So far we've cleaned up around six, seven houses. We've mainly cleaned the basements and took away the things from the basements. And then we've helped the firefighters wherever we could," said Imam of Ahmadiyya community, Mubaris Hussain.
"We've collected the clothes for people from Stolberg and surroundings, Erfstadt, Euskirchen - and all places affected by flood. We've packed them in boxes and currently they are in storage rooms in Neuss. They will be brought tomorrow to Neuss city hall. And today we came here to generally help people wherever we can," Hussain added.
Over 150 people were killed, and more than 1,000 have gone missing after flash floods hit parts of western Germany, while tens of thousands have been left without electricity.
Flooding has also affected Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
