SERBIA IS FACING THE BIGGEST NATURAL DISASTER IN PAST 120 YEARS

Serbia is going through the worst floods ever recorded. The situation is much harder than can be imagined! Thousands of people are being evacuated, many of them are still waiting to be rescued.

Serbia is bracing for another flood wave from the Sava, swollen by the heaviest rains since records began 120 years ago.

Tens of thousands of people have been displaced and swaths of agricultural land devastated. Total number of victims hasn’t been announced yet.

The most critical situation is in the Sava, Kolubara, Mačva, Morava, Pomoravlje districts in western and central parts of the country.

The situation is the worst in the Belgrade municipality of Obrenovac. Police and army in helicopters are trying to prevent further damage, after the Kolubara river burst its banks and flooded 90 per cent of the town.

Serbia receives help from abroad but much more is needed, please publish those appeals at your news and help rescuing operations.

It is the only platform that is really working toward a positive change in the sense of perception and understandings of design profession in countries that formed ex Yugoslavia.
