KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): All nine Malaysians living in the flood-affected areas of Maastricht and Valkenburg in the Netherlands are reported to be safe, says the Malaysian Embassy in The Hague, Netherlands.

"For Malaysians in the affected areas, they do not require any form of assistance thus far, but the embassy maintains close contact with them on a daily basis, in case help are needed,” said the embassy in a reply statement to Bernama.

On July 15, water overflowed the Maas River and impacted many parts alongside the area, affecting several cities including Venlo and Maastricht.The declaration of disaster paved the way for the Dutch government to activate the Compensation for Damage Act, through which the Government will partially cover damages not covered by insurers, and those who have been suffering from intense rainfall in the area.

The embassy said that currently there are 106 registered Malaysian students across the country who are mostly studying in Dutch universities in Groningen, Utrecht, Amsterdam, Delft and Wageningen, adding that these areas are not affected by the flood.
