OMID Foundation is sharing a COVID-19 Update.

3 months ago

Every year on June 20th, people around the world mark World Refugee Day – a day that aims to raise awareness of the struggles refugees face around the world and encourage people to take steps in solidarity with them. This year, the COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating the existing vulnerabilities of refugees.

In honor of the upcoming 2020 World Refugee Day, here are the key updates about the crisis in Greece:

COVID-19 has made its way into refugee populations in Greece, and now most recently onto the island of Lesbos. Experts and activists say it’s only a matter of time before Covid-19 spreads to the Moria camp. Calls to authorities for the mass evacuation of Moria, on the island of Lesbos, by aid workers and academics, have so far gone unheeded.
Social distancing and quarantine remain impossible to implement due to the overpopulation of camps and inadequate access to resources.

This is how you can help:

Close to twenty women have already moved into our first two shelters. We are glad to have been able to support survivors and get them out of Moria camp. We set out to raise $117,000 to support fifty Farsi speaking women over a twelve-month period by protecting them against the risk of COVID-19 infection, removing them from the horrid condition of Moria camp and provide them with shelter and education opportunities.
Thank you for your kind donations and support and for making an impact where it matters the most. Learn more here: omidfoundation.com/covid-19/ ... See MoreSee Less
