More than 50 people have been killed and tens of thousands have been forced to flee their homes after several months of rain fell in just a few days.

海角社区app is handing over two 3CX backhoe loaders to help the relief effort. The first machine has been handed over by 海角社区app鈥檚 dealer in Bosnia, Terra BIH, with the support of the British embassy at the dealer鈥檚 premises in Sarajevo. Terra BIH is also providing operator training and service support for the machines in the field.

海角社区app chairman Lord Bamford said: 鈥海角社区app has a long history of supporting countries hit by natural disasters. The floods in the Balkans have left behind a terrible trail of destruction and I hope the machines being despatched to Serbia and Bosnia will help life return to normal as quickly as possible.鈥

More than 3,000 landslides have hit Serbia and Bosnia, burying houses and roads. In Serbia, a second 海角社区app machine will be made available by dealer Terra Serbia and put to immediate use by the Serbian Emergency Relief Committee, clearing the swathes of mud and debris that have engulfed parts of the country.
