GRC international relief in Europe

Europe, too, is facing a number of crises and challenges: increased vulnerability to natural disasters as a result of climate change, managing displacement and migration, and the armed conflict in Ukraine. With the aim of reducing the resulting human suffering, the German Red Cross is responding with needs-based humanitarian assistance.

Humanitarian assistance for Ukraine

In light of the ongoing war in Ukraine, people in the country and on the move are facing great suffering – their need for humanitarian assistance affects many areas of life. The German Red Cross therefore provides extensive relief aid, such as basic medical care, psychosocial support, home care or cash assistance. We also assist Ukrainian people in Germany in a wide variety of areas.

Emergency Aid after Natural Desasters

Natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, or cold waves occur repeatedly in Europe. If the extent of a disaster is so huge that aid workers on the ground need support, the GRC is ready to act: In the past, delegates from Germany, for example, have been involved in desaster relief acitivities following floods in Central and Eastern Europe.

Assistance for Refugees

People from crisis areas are often forced to leave their homes and seek refuge in safe countries. Equipped with only those things that they are able to carry, fleeing is a draining and dangerous undertaking. Basic necessities such as food and medical care are lacking. The GRC supports the improvement of the refugees´ situation, for example with relief items like hygiene kits or medical care.
