Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) arrived on Tuesday for a meeting with those affected by the flood disaster in Bad Münstereifel in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Two days after her visit to Rhineland-Palatinate, Merkel wanted to talk to helpers and citizens about the situation after the disaster.

Merkel is accompanied by North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) on her visit.

She also wanted to exchange ideas with the mayor of Bad Münstereifel, Sabine Preiser-Marian (CDU), and District Administrator Markus Ramers (SPD).

The flood disaster caused severe damage in the half-timbered town.

On Sunday, Merkel and the Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD) visited the Ahr Valley, which was badly hit by the floods.

There the Chancellor had promised nationwide solidarity to those affected and announced quick financial aid.
