The two officials are accompanied by county council head Gheorghe Flutur.

Dozens of people in the village were left homeless because of the floods, which also destroyed roads, farmland and pastures and clogged wells.

Twenty-three people have died in the severe floods that hit Romania over the past two weeks and thousands have been evacuated from their homes.

A heavy rainfall alert is still in place for about half of the country until Friday night.
