In many media outside of Poland it seems that this country is only talked about to discredit it. News like this do not appear in international media.
As you know, a few days ago some strong storms caused serious floods in Central Europe, mainly affecting Germany and Belgium. Although it was not cited by many international media, Poland was also affected by the storms. According to the Polish Ministry of the Interior, in ten days Polish firefighters carried out 25,000 interventions related to storms and floods.

The Polish Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, reported yesterday the sending of this aid in two messages posted on his Twitter account, one in Polish and the other in English:
