QC provided food parcels (flour, sugar, oil, pasta, rice, water and milk) in addition to hygiene kits, clothing, blankets and cleaning materials to 2,500 people throughout the municipal areas of Doboj, Maglaj, Olovo and Samac. Dozens of people have been killed, tens of thousands displaced, thousands left homeless, crops washed away and infrastructure such as roads and bridges destroyed.
