As of today, all residents of Serbia can help the endangered in Nepal by sending an SMS to the number 9009. The number is valid for all domestic mobile networks, and the price of the message is 100 dinars. Until now, assistance to the vulnerable has been provided by payment to a UNICEF account or by payment via the website.
The number for collecting humanitarian aid was opened due to the great interest of our citizens to help the population endangered by the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal last week, which indicates global solidarity and the fact that people in Serbia have not forgotten the help from around the world. after last year’s May floods, UNICEF Serbia said.
All members of the Association for the Affirmation of Culture joined the action of raising funds for Nepal, so on this occasion we invite all fellow citizens to join the action.
According to UNICEF data, about 1.7 million children are in urgent need of humanitarian aid in the areas most affected by the earthquake in Nepal.
A magnitude 7.9 earthquake killed nearly 5,000 people and injured more than 9,700. Tens of thousands of people have been forced to relocate to open space and temporary camps in the Kathmandu Valley, as well as in other most affected areas. A huge risk for children is the lack of clean water, because it threatens water-borne diseases.
