Let’s help those affected by the floods in Kosovo and Metohija

The Kosovo Pomoravlje Humanitarian Organization is calling on everyone who can to help those affected by the floods in Kosovo and Metohija through donations.

Urgently Needed: Dehumidifiers, cleaning supplies, disinfectants, and food.

Due to the heavy rainfall that recently hit southern Serbia, many households in Kosovo and Metohija were flooded. Arable land has been destroyed, and in some areas, infrastructure has also been damaged.

Homes that were painstakingly rebuilt after the war have lost almost everything to the water. Many families with children, elderly, and sick members face problems with heating and water supply. Damage assessment is still ongoing, and so far, only the most vulnerable have been evacuated. Serbian communities across Kosovo have suffered, with the hardest-hit areas being around Gračanica and in Kosovo Pomoravlje. The villages most affected are in central Kosovo and Kosovo Pomoravlje, and in Kosovo Kamenica, a bridge connecting it to nearby villages has collapsed.

A large number of livestock have perished, firewood has been destroyed, and homes where the water has receded are now facing severe moisture problems.

After repairing major damages, if enough funds are collected, they will be redirected to buying computers, clothing, or school supplies for children whose homes were flooded. This is a major blow to Serbian communities in Kosovo and Metohija. A people still recovering from the consequences of one disaster have now been hit by another. Everyday problems that Serbs in Kosovo face have only deepened. The photos we receive daily from fellow citizens are truly heart-wrenching. People who spent years rebuilding after the war now helplessly watch as everything disappears again. As an organization active daily on the ground, together with other organizations and all individuals and institutions supporting our people, we appeal to everyone who can join this effort and help our fellow citizens through donations.
