In a concerning development, the deadline for submitting applications for assistance from the National Reconstruction Fund has ended, and now no one can apply for financial aid. This deadline, set for June 30, 2026, was postponed due to issues such as a shortage of building materials and the selection of experts, but ultimately came to an end.
Details of applications and aid
According to published information, approximately 18,140 complete applications have been registered so far, of which about 12,520 applications are for assistance with household items, 4,570 for building damages, and 1,060 in the business sector. The total amount of approved aid has reached about 1.5 billion euros, with the largest portion going to companies, amounting to approximately 698 million euros.
While this aid is designed for the reconstruction of damages, it seems that some applications have been rejected due to documentation deficiencies and insufficient proof of damages. For example, out of the total applications, 713 have been rejected, including 477 in the area of household items and 163 in the area of buildings.
The future of flood victims and challenges ahead
With the application deadline passed, there are many concerns for individuals who have not yet been able to submit their applications. These individuals are now in limbo and must hope that the government finds new solutions to assist them. Additionally, according to the information provided, funding for infrastructure and public buildings is also underway, but it seems that this aid alone cannot meet the real needs of the flood victims.
