German football giants Bayern Munich have donated 100,000 Euros (113,000 dollars) to recent flood victims in southern Germany, the club announced.
Bayern stated that the city council of the especially hard-hit district Rottal-Inn would decide where the money would be directed.
The Bayern Board Chairman, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, said at a news conference in Munich that “we want to express our solidarity with the people in Lower Bavaria affected by this disaster and help them in their time of need.”
The floods on Thursday in the region cost seven people their lives, while no fewer than 1,000 people in the Simbach am Inn community lost their homes. (dpa/NAN)
