In recent weeks and months, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people seeking refuge in Europe and elsewhere after fleeing their homeland to escape violence and unrest in countries such as Syria, Iraq and Libya. Millions of people have been displaced since the Syrian crisis began, more than five years ago.
Many refugees and migrants are in need of support in their journey and the Red Cross has been responding in countries such as Greece, Serbia, Italy and Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Red Cross volunteers are providing refugees and migrants with essential relief items such as food and water, as well as first aid.
Together with other Red Cross Movement partners, the Canadian Red Cross actively supports Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in Syria, Iraq, Libya and throughout the region who are providing food, household items and life-saving health services to internally displaced persons.
