The earthquake, magnitude 6.4, which struck on December 29th, near the cities of Petrinja and Sisak was the largest to occur in Croatia since the advent of modern seismic instruments. The ground shaking reached values of almost 8 on the Mercalli Scale, resulting in serious damage to ordinary built structures and deep ground breaking.
The affected region is one of the poorest parts of Croatia, which still did not recover completely from the wounds of homeland war. Due to the severe strength of the quake and vulnerability of the area, thousands of people lost their homes, many were injured and seven were killed.
We are grateful to all the governments, organizations and individuals from all over the world who already helped or intend to help the earthquake victims.
We are organizing this tournament to help bridge players from Petrinja and Sisak whose homes were damaged or destroyed during the quake. If you wish to help, you can make your donation directly to the personal account of one of the players, and the money will be distributed among them.Thank you so much for your help!
