Zagreb, Croatia. Catastrophic images of the ruined city centre of Petrinja and the significantly damaged city of Sisak, quickly went around the whole world. Unfortunately, in this strong earthquake, several individuals have lost their lives in Petrinja and Glina and dozens are injured. The work of recovering the victims from the earthquake rubble is continuing. Many will spend the night in the alternative housing or at their extended family.
For continuing updates, see here.
As of this moment, we have not received reports of deceased or injured members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, but several church buildings in Sisak and Zagreb have suffered new damage. We are still awaiting updates on the churches in Sunja and Donja Mlinoga, as the traffic towards the Banovina region is blocked, and a lot of areas have lost electricity and digital communications. We have already started to prepare relief efforts and many ADRA volunteers and people of goodwill have expressed their willingness to help. The pastor of the Sisak district, Daniel Purda, has been contacting all the church members in the district and is evaluating the situation. Tomorrow, when the representatives of ADRA and the Sisak district inspect the area in detail, more will be known on what specific help is needed.
