An elderly lady standing in one of the doorways, staring at the riverbed with tears in her eyes. "My hens have all gone, only my ducklings are left, I keep them in the back, so they managed to escape".

The house of the Lolé family of six has been destroyed by the mud.

Villagers help to clean out the soaked belongings.

The last ten or so years have been characterised by hardly any water in the stream. “Last year it was the drought, now it’s this. More water has not flowed down in 20 years than now in 5 minutes” - said one of the inhabitants.

László is comforted by one of this friends a few days after the catastrophe.
