The first wave of humanitarian aid from Greece, through the European Civil Protection Mechanism, to support those affected by the earthquake in Syria, was delivered late on Monday to the facilities of the United Nations International Organization for Migration in Gaziantep, Turkey.
The Greek humanitarian aid – a total of 26 tons of medicines, medical supplies and basic necessities such as tents, folding beds, blankets and bedding – was airlifted to the Gaziantep hub, and then it will be channeled to northwestern Syria by the International Organization for Migration.
The Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Ministry said in its announcement: “Greece was ready immediately after the devastating earthquake to send humanitarian aid to Syria and from the first countries that responded to the request for assistance submitted by the Syrian authorities to the European Civil Protection Mechanism. It remains, moreover, in constant communication with the EU Mechanism, through which a coordinated and effective provision of assistance by the member states in affected areas is ensured, for the dispatch of additional aid.”
The organization and transfer of Greek humanitarian aid through the European Mechanism for the relief and meeting the needs of those affected in Syria was carried out with the coordination of the Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Ministry, in collaboration with the Health Ministry.
It is noted that humanitarian aid to those affected in Syria is sent simultaneously by other organizations in Greece.
