Czechs donate 20 million crowns in aid to flood victims

Czechs have donated over 20 million crowns in aid to flood victims and more contributions come in every day, the country’s leading humanitarian organizations report. People in Need, ADRA, the Czech Catholic Charity and the Red Cross have all set up special accounts and are taking in donations via phone mail. Truck-loads of humanitarian aid head for the flooded region every day carrying dryers, shovels, hygiene products and other basic necessities for the clean-up operation. Many people have used part of their annual paid leave to help with the clean-up work.
