Four employees of the Yerevan Zoo have left for Tbilisi to help Georgia liquidate the aftermath of the natural disaster.
Earlier the Tbilisi Zoo reported that of the Zoo's 600 residents, including fish and birds, about half were missing on Sunday.
The problems began before midnight Saturday (June 13). Heavy rainfall turned the Vere River, normally little more than a stream through the center of Tbilisi, into a torrent. The raging river flooded significant portions of a highway, swept away cars and at least one small house, and flooded many other homes. Wild animals roamed the streets of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, on Sunday, after raging floodwaters damaged the city's zoo and set many of the animals free. At least 14 people, including two Armenians, died in the flooding. 24 more people are missing.
