A Greek humanitarian aid mission in Syria, where a biblical disaster has also been caused by the deadly earthquake, is preparing to leave immediately, as a short while ago the relevant request to the European Civil Protection Mechanism was activated by Syria.

According to information from the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection – in response to some criticisms that have been made regarding the fact that aid was sent to Turkey and not to Syria – Greece had already started preparations yesterday for the organization of the mission in Syria , however, as clarified, he could not proceed with this move, as it is necessary to activate the request for aid from the country affected by the disaster.

As noted by an agent of the Ministry on this matter, the European Civil Protection Mechanism is the channel through which EU member states can coordinate and efficiently channel humanitarian aid to affected areas.

After the submission of the request by Syria, Greece is proceeding at a fast pace in sending aid, in cooperation and coordination with our European partners.

The aid consists of sending medicines, tents and general supplies for the support and care of people who have been left homeless and need immediate assistance, according to the request that Syria has activated.
