EU Civil Protection Mechanism: helping Greece with the extraordinary external border situation

In March 2020 Greece requested support via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism following the sudden increase of refugees and migrants at its external borders.

 

In response to the request, 14 European countries offered nearly 70,000 items of assistance.

 

It included sleeping bags, blankets, power generators, tents, and other shelter, sanitation and health items. The EU’s emergency response coordination centre in Brussels coordinated the aid deliveries and co-financed the transport of the assistance to Greece.
