The Hungarian disaster relief agency OKF has launched a shipment of six pallets of aid to Croatia to deal with the aftermath of Tuesday's earthquake.
Croatia turned to the European Union for help to deal with the magnitude 6.3 earthquake on Tuesday, asking the Member States for tents, lighting, folding beds and sleeping bags.
Hungary was one of the first to help its southwestern neighbor and offered 250 folding camp beds and 250 sleeping bags, which Croatia accepted. The two-ton, six-pallet relief consignment departed from the logistics base of disaster management in the early afternoon and is expected to arrive in the evening this Wednesday at the Croatian civil defense depot near Zagreb via the Letenye border crossing.
Hungary last sent an aid shipment to Croatia on March 23, 2020. At the time, it was to help to deal with a situation following a magnitude 5.6 earthquake with 200 camp beds and 200 mattresses.
