The distribution of close to 2 million Leva (1 million euro), raised by donors through the Bulgarian Red Cross in aid of the people of Hitrino village is beginning as of today.  

A derailed freight train exploded in Hitrino on 10 December, killing seven and injuring dozens, and inflicting severe material damage. Hristo Grigorov, chairman of the Bulgarian Red Cross said for the Bulgarian National Radio that the decision on the distribution of the donations will be made after a thorough analysis of the village’s needs and the media will keep the public fully informed of the way the money is spent.
