The Red Cross continues its work in Greece, responding to the growing needs of refugees and migrants living in apartments and shelters in urban areas of Athens. While the provision of primary health care and psycho-social support services remains at the centre of its operation, the Red Cross also aims to increase the resilience and self-sufficiency of men, women and children by supporting them to enjoy their fundamental rights, for example to access social protection and public services. More than 8,270 people, victims of torture, unaccompanied children, single parents, chronic patients and elderly among others, will benefit from the programme, which is funded by the European Commission’s Civil protection and Humanitarian Aid department (ECHO).
