Greece is overwhelmed by thousands of exhausted refugees and immigrants who continue arriving in Greece, while the government remains passive without being able to provide them even food.

Therefore, volunteers, non-governmental organizations and municipalities are trying to cover the basic needs of those people.

In this framework, a delegation of the Holy Synod, President of Central Union of Municipalities of Greece (KEDE) and Athens Medical Association Giorgos Patoulis, Piraeus mayor Yannis Moralis, UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador Marianna Vardinoyiannis and the famous Greek singer Sakis Rouvas visited Piraeus port to distribute basic supplies, such as food and medicines, to the refugees and immigrants who have been staying in the terminals of Piraeus port for days.

The action was part of the program “We care”, concerning the provision of medical assistance to refugee children, which is implemented by the Marianna V. Vardinogiannis foundation ” in cooperation with Greece’s KEDe and the support of Athens Medical Association and the Children’s hospital Aghia Sophia.

Doctors examined the refugees, while infants, children and adolescents up to 16 years were vaccinated.
