The families of the victims of the fire at the Pulse disco in Kocani will receive financial assistance of 150 thousand denars. The Secretary General of the Red Cross, Sait Sait, informed that the money collected through the Red Cross account and the open telephone lines will be paid out as soon as the data and consents from the families are collected.
The remaining part of the money that will be collected at the Red Cross, Saiti announced, will be distributed according to a different methodology, taking into account, as he said, the needs of the families of people receiving treatment in and outside the country.
"This weekend we managed to collect data on the deceased and agreed that the data for people receiving treatment abroad will be collected by the joint services of the Government. We have received some of the data, the rest remains to be received. It remains to collect the data of people receiving treatment in the country." - Sait Sait, Secretary General of the Red Cross.
In addition to donations collected through the Red Cross, civic initiatives have also begun these days to raise funds for the victims of the fire by creating websites and donation funds.
According to our information, some of the families whose injuries are in hospitals in the country and abroad have blocked accounts, so humane people are having difficulty transferring money for assistance.
On the day of the accident, reports circulated on social media that fake links for donations for the victims of the accident were being spread.
Through the open telephone lines, citizens have so far donated 12 million denars. The remaining money was collected through donations to the Red Cross bank account from citizens, companies, local governments and state institutions.
Some of the companies we communicated with believe that the Government should waive the 10% personal tax on each donation, i.e. in the case when a company pays to an individual. This way, those who need it most at the moment would receive more funds.
