YEREVAN, 3 June. /ARKA/. Armenia’s Ministry of Finance opened a treasury account to collect donations for the flood-stricken areas of the country, the Ministry announced on Monday.
“Our compatriots in Armenia and the diaspora, as well as organizations, are willing to help people who were affected by the flood in the Lori and Tavush provinces. So, the Ministry of Finance has opened an account to collect donations,” the statement said.
Domestic transfers in Armenian drams can be sent to the account no. 900005003315, while card transfers are available online in any currency using the e-payments system.
Heavy rains flooded Armenia’s northeastern provinces Lori and Tavush on 25 and 26 May, causing the Debed, Aghstev, and Tashir rivers to overflow their banks. As a result, portions of the railway and the freeway connecting Armenia with Georgia were destroyed. So far, the death toll stands at 4, and 443 individuals have been evacuated from the flooded area. A total of 300 million drams has been allocated for recovery efforts.
