The head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Francesco Rocca announced an initial 300,000 euro support fund for the Hellenic Red Cross (HRC), in statements after his Thursday visit to the Kastanies border station at the Greek-Turkish border in the Evros region, ANA reports.
Referring to the unfolding migration crisis at Greece’s northernmost border with Turkey and the thousands of refugees stuck there with no right of entry into Greece, he stressed that the European Union “must understand it cannot let Greece meet this great challenge alone” and emphasized that the primary concern should be the safeguarding of human dignity.
