Caption: 15 July 2021, North Rhine-Westphalia, Eschweiler: A fire truck stands at the side entrance of the hospital. Due to the flood situation, the hospital in Eschweiler near Aachen is being evacuated. Intensive care patients will be picked up from the roof by rescue helicopter and taken to other hospitals, a spokeswoman for the city region said on Thursday. In the hospital - as in most of downtown Eschweiler - the drinking water and power supply had failed. According to the spokeswoman, a drinking water pipe that supplies the city center broke as a result of the heavy rain. Photo: Ralf Roeger/dpa
