A Reader in the UK writes...


Dear Editor,

Nearly (3) Three years ago Cheltenham & many parts of Gloucestershire was flooded.

News of this was covered quite extensively both locally & nationally as well as in many parts of Europe as well. A fellow EU country, Poland, is experiencing extensive flooding, particularly in the South of the country. There appears to have been little or no media coverage both locally & nationally in the UK. Polish people make a great contribution to the local economy in Cheltenham & we would be lost without them. I think the flooding in Poland deserves more media attention that it is given. Flooding is a problem that is close to our hearts in Gloucestershire. Why hasn't the flooding in Poland been given the same extensive coverage that Gloucestershire was given (3) Three years ago. Poland is not a wealthy country so hopefully they are getting help from theEU.

Is anyone aware of a disaster fund, that is often the case, in the event of International natural disaters such as this occuring ? If so Where ?
