Скачать или смотреть EU Floods Recovery Programme: 28 families in the Alžirac settlement in Šamac returned home

The Alžirac settlement in the Šamac Municipality was almost completely destroyed in the catastrophic floods in May 2014. Most of the houses in this settlement were built in 1961 as prefabricated barracks with frail structures, due to which the extent of flood damage was extensive. The floods caused additional hardship for the families living in this settlement, who were already amongst the most vulnerable people in the area.

Thanks to the EU Floods Recovery Programme, 28 housing units in the settlement have now been rehabilitated, enabling the families to return home. The EU's support has assisted the families in normalising their living conditions, as provisionally the families were scattered around the Šamac region, living with relatives, friends or in various alternative accommodation facilities set up by the municipal authorities.

Naselje Alžirac u opštini Šamac je bilo skoro potpuno uništeno u katastrofalnim poplavama u maju 2014. Većina kuća u ovom naselju izgrađena je 1961. godine u obliku montažnih kuća slabije konstrukcije, zbog čega su razmjeri štete od poplava bili toliki. Poplave su prouzročile dodatne poteškoće za porodice koje žive u ovom naselju,a koje su i prije toga smatrane jednom od najugroženijih stanovnika ovoga područja.

Zahvaljujući EU Programu za oporavak od poplava, sanirano je 28 stambenih jedinica u ovom naselju što je omogućilo porodicama da se vrate u svoje domove. Podrška EU je pomogla u normalizaciji životnih uslova ovih porodica koje su do tada privremeno živjele širom šamačke regije, kod rodbine, prijatelja ili u raznom alternativnom smještaju koji je osigurala općinska vlast.
