The Turkish Muslim community in Germany mobilized volunteers to help flood victims in the western and southern regions on Tuesday.
Volunteers of DITIB, the largest Turkish-Muslim association in the country, are distributing food and water and helping victims clear homes of debris in the worst-hit areas, the group said in a statement.

DITIB’s support for disaster victims continues in the hardest-hit towns and municipalities, including Sinzig, Stolberg, Erftstadt, and Ahrweiler.
Germany’s worst flooding in decades has claimed 165 lives and caused widespread devastation in the western states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate.
Tens of thousands of people are still without power and clean water in flood-hit villages and small towns.
