Governor: Tornado-hit villages require building materials only

Leaders of the South Moravia Region, which was devastated by a tornado on Thursday, have asked people to stop sending material aid to the affected communities. The regional governor, Jan Grolich, said on Tuesday that the municipalities now had sufficient food, water, clothing and other items.

Mr. Grolich said the mayors of the villages in the Hodonín and Břeclav districts only required building materials, of which there is a shortage.

The first train since the tornado ran between the towns of Hodonín and Břeclav on Tuesday morning.
