EASTERN CROATIA DEVASTATED BY FLOODS – RED CROSS AND CARITAS EMERGENCY APPEALS

Devastation is sweeping across Eastern Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. Floods so harsh and merciless have claimed dozens of lives so far, towns and villages evacuated – despair all around. Such a natural disaster has not been seen in these areas in memory. All I can say: Please help if you can – every bit counts!

Croatian Red Cross launched emergency appeal for flood-affected areas in the Republic of Croatia, in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Serbia. You can help by donating via a secure payment on-line and although instructions are in the Croatian language the forms are easily followed (or click on PDF below for instructions in English) and on drop-menus you can choose for which devastated area you can donate: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina or Serbia.
