Making a world of difference: responding wherever needed
Staggering numbers of refugees and migrants have risked their lives crossing the Mediterranean and thousands continue to do so every day, desperate to reach safety in Europe. Over half of them are Syrians, victims of the largest humanitarian crisis in recent history. In response, we deployed over 442 staff across Europe, providing support and protection. Since the start of the crisis, we’ve distributed some 242,000 blankets and over 26,000 sleeping mats, among other vital supplies. All thanks to you.
