ZAGREB, 27 January 2021 - Croatian counties have donated about HRK 5 million to earthquake-hit areas, and the City of Zagreb has allocated HRK 300,000 each for Petrinja, Glina, Sisak, Hrvatska Kostajnica, Lekenik, Sunja, Donji Kukuruzari, Majur, Dvor, Topusko and Gvozd, the association of Croatian counties has said.
"In addition to money, housing containers, firefighting trucks, search dogs, food, clothing have also been donated and accommodation has been offered for people who lost their homes. We will not cease giving aid. We will analyse the needs in the field and continue to do what we have been doing since the March earthquake and that is prompt response and help in the field," the association said in a press release following an online meeting on Wednesday.
It was underscored that last year was marked with the COVID pandemic and earthquakes that caused the loss of lives and material damage but also resulted in solidarity that Croatian citizens showed when it was the hardest, particularly for Sisak-Moslavina County and the City of Zagreb.
