Those who remained in the center of the festival say that they will try to survive the bad situation. At the moment, the biggest concern is about hygiene – it is difficult to provide running water in the middle of the desert and already a sea of mud. Food also ran out.
Those people who managed to leave emphasize that the experience is not one of the nicest.

It was a slow, very slow process.”
Rescuers have now confirmed that one person has died. President Biden has also been informed about the situation
