Slovenia showed solidarity with Turkey and Syria at the start of this year, sending aid to areas devasted by deadly earthquakes.

In August, Slovenia experienced the worst flooding to ever hit this country.

The Red Cross has distributed around 2.5 million Euro worth of aid in the form of value cards from various retailers or in financial transfers so far this year.

Thirty percent of money collected by the Red Cross is used for one-time financial assistance, with the remaining 70% going towards assistance in the event of large-scale disasters.
