#StrongerTogether: the EU’s Civil Protection response to Coronavirus
In addition to dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, Greece continues to face additional challenges and needs at its external borders, exceeding its capacity to address them.
90,000 items of assistance from 17 European countries were channeled to Greece after it activated the Mechanism on 02 March 2020 for material to assist its coronavirus prevention measures for migrants and refugees in the country.
The assistance provided consisted, amongst others, of sleeping bags, blankets, power generators, tents, and sanitation and health items.
Following the fire that affected the Moria refugee camp on the island of Lesbos in September 2020, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Sweden sent tents, blankets, sleeping bags and mobile sanitary facilities to Greece. The assistance was co-financed by the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.
