Nea Kavala refugee camp
Red Cross teams working in Greece witness on a daily basis the impact of uncertainty and dire conditions on the physical and mental health of migrants - people are exhausted, desperate and frustrations mount. Many have faced violence and trauma in the past. Birthe Solevad is a psychosocial worker from Danish Red Cross, and is supporting people living in camps in northern Greece by facilitating women’s and men’s groups where people have a safe space to share their worries and frustrations, and enabling people to run activities like English tuition and craft.
