UNMIK supports Kosovo families as they recover from recent floods

In response to last week’s flooding that impacted hundreds of people across Kosovo, and after a needs assessment was conducted, UNMIK delivered aid packages to support families impacted in flood-hit areas, including Skenderaj/Srbica, South Mitrovica, North Mitrovica, Zvečan/Zveçan, Leposavić/Leposaviq, and Zubin Potok.

The donations, which included 450 food and hygiene packages, were warmly welcomed by mayors and officials, including South Mitrovica Mayor Bedri Hamza, Serbian Red Cross CEO Vojin Drobnjaković and Skenderaj/Srbica Mayor Fadil Nura.

UNMIK responded swiftly to address immediate needs and concerns for those impacted.

“We stand with those who were affected by the recent floods. In providing some small relief to residents, we also send a message of our compassion and shared spirit of collective action and support,” UNMIK Head of Mission and SRSG Caroline Ziadeh said.
