Erfstadt-Belsem municipality destroyed by landslide

It is as if the earth has burned. Previously, there was a farmland or an equestrian center in the Erfstadt-Belsim disaster area. Now, in the hole sucked up by the mud, there are cars and houses, and an entire neighborhood swept away by a dizzying landslide. Large tracts of land continue to decline on the evening of Friday, July 16.

In question, a torrent of water and mud, spilled on Thursday 15 July in the commune near Cologne, after the Irft River overflowed. Fortunately, many residents had the instinct to leave their homes when the waters began to rise. “When we saw our basement flooded to the top and the water was reaching our yard, we decided to leave, but we had no instructions“A woman says.
