For a large donation of 1.5 million surgical masks, we organized the distribution to 20 humanitarian organizations across Europe that are active in the care of refugees.
In regular and irregular refugee camps at the external borders of Europe, a supply of masks to fight the pandemic is still not guaranteed. In order to get the donated masks exactly where they are needed most, we queried the needs of numerous organizations across Europe working in this field.
Strong network
With the support of the Hamburg soccer club St. Pauli, we repackaged the masks and the logistics organization humanilog took over the transport to the 30 organizations that will in turn distribute the masks to refugees.
A large part of the masks will be delivered to Greece, mainly to the islands near the European border. Other destinations include organizations in Serbia, Bosnia and Spain. These are exclusively non-profit, non-governmental, self-organized organizations. In part, they are initiatives by refugees for refugees.
Meet our Team: Dr. Corinna Schäfer
When people think of humanitarian emergency aid, they usually picture doctors saving lives in makeshift tents. But the reality of today’s crisis response missions involves more than that. It consists largely of logistics, infrastructure, and—increasingly—cybersecurity. Our colleague Dr. Corinna Schäfer
Shelter Diary
The people of Ukraine are under constant threat of the drone and missile attacks from the Russian military. Residential areas and civilian infrastructure are repeatedly targeted, and there are regular reports of deaths and injuries. Our teams, too, must deal with this danger. In the following brief excerpts, one of our staff members describes her experiences over the past few days.
