Tens of millions raised to help families of shooting victims

People in Czechia have donated more than 45 million crowns as of Sunday afternoon to support the families of the victims, teachers and students affected by Thursday’s shooting at the Faculty of Arts. Most of that money has been raised by the collection organised by the Charles University Foundation Fund, with tens of thousands of people contributing. The university has said it will use the funds to provide targeted psychological and material assistance to those affected.

Other collections include one organised by Masaryk University in Brno and another on the donation website Znesnáze21.cz. The Prague city government has also promised to contribute CZK 5 million.
