The European Union is to provide €90,656 to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) to help it cope with migratory pressures, the European Commission announced on Friday 31 July. The aid will be channelled through the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) to help the national Red Cross Society assist some 4,600 people over the next three months. Assistance will primarily go to the reception centre for asylum seekers in the capital Skopje and the main train stations at the southern and northern borders of the country. The aid will help provide for essential basic needs, such as primary health care services, water delivery, food, hygiene kits, blankets, clothing, shoes and baby care products. (SP)
