During winter 2017, InterVolve developed a Rapid Response Team with our partners to enable us to respond to urgent needs emerging from adverse weather conditions and poor camp winterization. Alongside collaborating partners, this team responded swiftly to provide interventions, aid and support to prevent harm to refugees in Greece and further afield.

45915 non food items were sourced and distributed by the partnership in January 2017, while we also worked on other emergency response activities including providing shelter, water, power, food, ice management, and making referrals to protection agencies.

We continue to be ready to respond to the changing needs of people living in Thessaloniki, and we maintain flexibility in our team to respond to emergency and emerging issues.
