JNS.org – In response to last week’s massive floods in Serbia as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), along with the Federation of Jewish Communities in Romania, have dispatched five aid convoys carrying 15 tons of aid for flood victims.
“We immediately responded to the news that flooding had left countless people without basic necessities and shelter, as we have done many times in the past when natural disasters have struck communities in Europe,” said Diego Ornique, JDC’s incoming Europe Regional Director.
“We’re especially proud that in this moment of tremendous need, we could partner with the Jewish communities of Romania, Serbia, and Bosnia to bring life-saving aid to those who need it most,” Ornique added.
The emergency aid products include food, personal hygiene products, water, milk, powdered milk, diapers, liquid soap, bedding, and replacement furniture for flood victims in the towns of Belgrade, Doboj, and Banja Luka.
JDC said it would distribute the items to the most needy victims, including Jewish families in Doboj and Banja Luka.
