Not a single death was reported in the Jewish community. During and after the flooding, community leaders immediately organized the delivery of bread and water to families in need, physicians made rounds by boat, and Betar, the Jewish youth organization, moved Jews living in flooded areas to the synagogue and the cemetery, both located on high ground. Volunteers assisted the elderly and the sick by bringing them food from a central soup kitchen until the water receded some five weeks later
