In the aftermath of the disaster, the EU immediately released €3 million for humanitarian and emergency needs that were gradually increased to reach 120 million at the end of 2010.
Pärast loodusõnnetust andis EL kohe 3 miljoni euro ulatuses humanitaar- ja hädaabi, mida suurendati 2010. aasta lõpuks järk-järgult 120 miljoni euroni.
