Israel has offered humanitarian aid to Croatia following a 6.4-magnitude earthquake that struck the European nation on Tuesday.
The tremor — with the epicenter in Petrinja, 50 kilometers south of the Croatian capital, Zagreb — killed at least six people and injured more than 20 more.
It was the second quake to strike the area in two days.
The director-general of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, Alon Ushpiz, tweeted, “We follow with great concern the effects of the recent earthquakes in Croatia, that caused great damage and the tragic death of a young girl.”
“The Foreign Ministry, in coordination with the home front command, has offered immediate assistance to Croatia,” he added.

Israel and Croatia are close friends, as expressed firmly and warmly in the Foreign Ministers’ conversation yesterday (1/2)
