People in Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia need fresh water, medicine, food, shelter tents and other relief supplies after flooding followed heavy rain, a UN spokesman said on Tuesday.
"The United Nations and humanitarian partners have offered assistance to the authorities,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
Dujarric reported that more than 70,000 people have been evacuated from the disaster-affected areas, and around 50 people have lost their lives in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia.
"In Bosnia-Herzegovina, the UN continues to coordinate with the government following recent floods. An airlift with emergency relief items reached Tuzla (north-east Bosnia) on Monday and assessment teams are being deployed," Dujarric added.
