The solidarity with people from the spilled Valais Mountain Village blats at our federal neighbors is very important. And the people make the “Fränkli” jump: 18 million euros in donations have already met.

The Swiss Bund also made five million euros available. But the total of 23 million euros is just a drop on the hot stone. The material damage after the predicted natural disaster is estimated at more than a billion euros.

As reported, a landslide had largely destroyed the village in the Lötschental on 28 May. 300 inhabitants can be evacuated on time, but a villager is still missing. The result of the muscle play of nature: the paw rule of the crashed 3.5 million cubic meters of rock is two kilometers long, 400 meters wide and up to 200 meters deep.
