Shaghaf volunteering foundation distributed food parcels and winter garments to displaced Palestinian families taking refuge in Vathi camp, set up on Samos Island, and in another camp set up on Leros Island.
As a freezing winter season is around the corner, thousands of migrants, including Palestinian refugees from Syria, continue to struggle with terrible conditions, in overcrowded and ramshackle tents and containers on Greek islands.
According to witnesses, thousands of people are crammed into overpopulated and desperately under-resourced facilities in hotspots on Greek islands. Thousands, including children, elderly people, single women, and female heads of households are being forced to live in unequipped tents, sleeping on the ground, as the weather worsens. Some women are forced to share tents with other foreigners, putting their privacy and safety at risk.
