The aid, donated by ethnic Croats from the Balaton area and the western towns of Narda and Hrvatske Šice (Horvátlövő), was distributed to the families in greatest need.
"This aid was raised by people whose ancestors left their homes during the Ottoman invasion in the 16th century and found a new home in present-day Hungary," the vice-president of the Hungarian parliament, Hende Csaba Károly, said, adding that the humanitarian campaign for the Croatian earthquake victims would continue.
He recalled that the Hungarian government had pledged to rebuild a church in Žažina and a primary school in Petrinja.
Hungarian MP Fenyesi Zoltán Mihály said that families in the Balaton area were willing to take in families from Croatia so that they could at least for a short while forget their troubles caused by the earthquake.
The mayor of Majur, Klementina Karanović, thanked for the donation, saying that the knowledge that there were good people out there meant a lot to the local residents.
The delegation of Burgenland Croats also included the Croatian honorary consul to Hungary, Kos Attila, and the mayors of Narda and Hrvatske Šice (Horvátlövő).
Majur has a population of about 800. Nearly 400 houses and other structures have been damaged in the 6.2 magnitude earthquake that struck on 29 December 2020. About 100 residents live in housing containers and campers.
