In late May 2026, Moldova experienced severe flooding, particularly affecting the districts of Călărași and Ungheni following torrential rains on May 22. The floods resulted in significant damage, including inundated homes, disrupted transportation, and agricultural losses, with at least one confirmed fatality in Călărași. Emergency response teams were deployed to manage the crisis, conducting evacuations and reinforcing flood defenses, while local authorities assessed the extent of the damage, which impacted over 69 households and threatened approximately 400 more. As recovery efforts began, the Red Cross Society of Moldova engaged with affected communities to identify urgent needs and provide humanitarian assistance.
