Bulgaria’s caretaker government decided to provide Turkiye with humanitarian aid worth nearly EUR 800,000 under the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. The humanitarian aid includes tents of different capacity, mobile air-conditioners, folding chairs and tables, thermal blankets, pillows, camp beds, vans, etc. Under the same mechanism, Bulgaria is sending aid to Syria at the request of the government of Bashar al-Assad. The Fire Safety and Civil Protection Directorate General and the Bulgarian Red Cross are sending a tent, warm blankets and bedding sets worth just over EUR 45,000. The humanitarian aid will be transported with the financial assistance of the European Commission.
Meanwhile, the Bulgarian Red Cross has transferred another EUR 500,000 of the funds raised by the national campaign in support of the victims of the earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria. An additional EUR 300,000 was provided to the Turkish Red Crescent and EUR 200,000 to the Syrian Arab Red Crescent via the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC). Thus, the total amount transferred to Turkiye and Syria reached EUR 900,000.
