VTV.vn - A prolonged heatwave and drought have left huge swathes of parched fields and drooping crops in Germany, particularly in the country's north-east.

Farmers here are calling for support as the heat and lack of rainfall have severely damaged their crops and harvests this year.

According to the German Farmers' Association DBV, farmers need special aid of around 1 billion euros ($1.17 billion) because of damage to harvests.
