Mission du GEM 2020

Feu de Lesbos

Phase 1 :

Aide aux victimes de catastrophes

Le 9 septembre 2020, un énorme incendie a ravagé un camp de réfugiés surpeuplé sur l'île grecque de Lesbos. Plus de 13 000 demandeurs d'asile se sont retrouvés sans abri.

Phase 2

La période de transition

GEM, en partenariat avec Smart Aid, DHL Global et We Band Together, a répondu à notre initiative de phase 2 en envoyant des centaines de tentes et de lampes en octobre 2020 aux familles de réfugiés qui souffrent des fortes pluies et des inondations qui frappent l'île.
