In the first month after Hungary closed its border to Serbia in mid-September, 150,000 refugees have entered Croatia.

On average around 6,000 refugees are entering Croatia on a daily basis, the majority of whom are using Croatia only as a transit route.
As they continue their arduous trek through Europe, these refugees are in need of essential items to support them during their journey. ADRA Croatia has collected 25 tons of humanitarian aid, and has begun distributing mattresses and women’s hygiene kits to refugees.

Your support is reaching refugees and others in need around the world. Thank you for your prayers and your contributions.
