Refugee crisis 2015: support to refugees in Greece The Hellenic Red Cross is focusing on covering the basic need of refugees coming to its borders, including immediate relief at entry ports and as refugees move throughout the country, including providing basic food and non-food items, health care, first aid, psychosocial support, hygiene promotion, and restoring family links. Greece has seen a marked rise in refugees coming to its shores. These people are fleeing armed conflict, widespread violence and/or serious violations of human rights. From January to May 2015, more than 36,000 people were registered with the Greek authorities. By August 2015, 200,000 migrants were registered as having arrived to Greece via Turkey. As the land border between Greece and Turkey has become more difficult to cross, those seeking Greece come via sea borders between the two countries. Many arriving find themselves on Greek islands, including Lesvos, Chios, Samos, Crete, Rhodes, and Kos on a daily basis. These arrivals strain the resources in these locations because they often lack basic services for such population movements. Migrants face many insecurities upon coming to shore in Greece, and the Hellenic Red Cross distributes warm meals, water, and essential non-food items, including those for winterisation. Hygiene kits are also handed out to prevent the spread of sanitation-related diseases, and those separated from their families can find their way back using family tracing and messaging services. Migrants also often lack adequate information on rights and other basic information to make healthy decisions for the future, thus a critical component is also listening to their voices and understanding what their real needs and plans are. Psychosocial support is given with particular emphasis on children, and the Hellenic Red Cross’ capacity is strengthened through seeking skilled volunteers, trainings, and ensuring its branches are adequately equipped for emergency response. This project seeks to reach 200,000 migrants, supporting their humanitarian needs, and prioritises the following groups: people arriving by boat or rescued from the sea in need of urgent assistance and medical care, people with special needs (unaccompanied minors, people living with disabilities, pregnant women, people with chronic diseases etc.), and women and children. This project takes place on the Greek islands of Rhodes, Kos, Chios, Samos, Lesvos, and Crete, and throughout the country and its transfer and exits points. Athens acts as a transfer point, and exit points include Idomeni, close to the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia border.
Water, sanitation and hygiene in Lebanese schools Pilot WASH in Schools - The overall aim of the project is to pilot the WASH in schools approach in two schools in Lebanon. A WASH survey done on a sample of Lebanese public schools in 2008 showed that these schools mainly rely on piped networks (67%) and groundwater (18%) as drinking water sources, the remaining options being tanks (water trucking), bottled water and surface water. The water supply through municipal networks is regularly interrupted, which implies that the schools might have used alternative water sources and that the risk of contamination of piped water is high (low pressure, non-continuous circulation). Moreover, ground water contamination has to be considered; either through unsafe septic tanks (cesspits) or due to infiltration of saltwater in the aquifers. Water quality in schools is normally monitored though with long intervals and general maintenance of the water supply equipment remains an important issue. Different methods are used for treatment of drinking water on school premises, the main one being filtration and chlorination, reaching about 25% of the institutions. Soap is available in less than 50% of the schools, which represents another important risk for diarrheal disease contamination. Globally the ratio of toilets per students is of 9 to 100, but data on effective access, functionality and user-friendliness is lacking. This project aims to increased awareness among school staff and students on ecofriendly practices that are applicable to their schools. Therefore, by the end of the project the targeted School staff and students will havehad increased their knowledge on Eco-friendly practices and have had access to WASH hardware within their premises Lebanese Red Cross Society and Netherlands Red Cross Society Lebanon

Myanmar - Monsoon Floods Heavy seasonal monsoon has brought strong winds and heavy rains across large parts of Myanmar since the beginning of July this year, causing increased water levels in major rivers and floods in many regions and states. As of 1 August 2018, Nay Pyi Taw, Bago, Tanintharyi, Magway, Sagaing and Ayeyarwady regions as well as Mon and Kayin states have been affected. The Department of Meteorology and Hydrology (DMH), forecasts heavy rains the next week, and the danger level of several rivers is either exceeded or is close to the danger level. The DMH has issued flood warnings for several rivers (Chindwin, Ngawun, Sittoung, Bago) over the last week where water levels have approached or exceed the danger levels. Based on information from the Government’s Department for Disaster Management (DDM), 147,613 people (cumulative figure) have been displaced since 9 July (see table below), sheltering in evacuation sites or staying with relatives and host families.

Cyclone Idai Flood Recovery in Malawi On March 31st 2019, MRCS presented, an in country response plan developed and coordination with Danish Red Cross and its core partners (Swiss, Belgium and Netherlands Red Cross). The response plan targets 14000 households in 6 districts: Nsanje, Chikwawa, Phalombe, Zomba, Mulanje and Mangochi) and covers an 18 months period, including a 3 months response for the immediate needs. The Netherlands Red Cross is supporting the recovery of WASH in the targeted districts. The impact of the floods and heavy rains caused significant damages to houses, household items and livelihoods.   In addition, other structures such at water sources , irrigation systems, latrines etc were submerged in the flooded waters. As a result, people sought refuge/shelter in schools, public buildings and higher grounds. In all the assessed areas, the displaced populations camped in schools (80%) and used school classrooms for shelter as well as other school facilities including water and sanitation. By delivering means to re-establish beneficiaries way of life through the provision of Shelter, Food Security and Livelihoods, WASH, Health and DRR The initial 14,000 HH targeted for the relief response will remain the primary target, however, the findings from both the MRCS Post Disaster Monitoring (PDM) as well a Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) and an upcoming inter-agency  Recovery Needs Assessment will serve to further focus the recovery effort to those who remain acutely in. The districts will be limited to 4.
The 14.000 HH targeted in the response comprised of 29.600 males and 40.400 females 4 districts: Nsanje, Chikwawa, Phalombe and Mulanje
CEA technical support The CEA Boost programme is coordinated by a CEA Programme Manager and Advisor based at HQ who will travel to the six countries where NLRC is implementing the CEA Boost programme to enhance the downward accountability of Red Cross Sister National Societies (SNS). NLRC HQ is reserving budget under this project to provide top-ups to those SNS who progress well in the project. Strengthening the downward accountability of Red Cross National Societies with an approach taking into account protection, gender and inclusion will ensure that the support provided to the communities and individuals is always based on an analysis of how each individual is affected differently by shocks and crisis ensuring that no one is left behind in the support delivered by the Red Cross. NLRC will provide tailor-made support to each SNS in line with the Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA) and the Protection, Gender and Inclusion (PGI) guidelines of the IFRC and complementary to the support provided for by other Red Cross Partner National Societies (PNS). The support will follow a structure of first strengthening, or even establishing, a CEA mechanism with formalized CEA procedures, ranging from needs assessments to feedback mechanisms, in the SNS, by means of programmes that are tailored to the specific identified gaps of CEA within those SNSs. Once a sustainably functional mechanisms is set in place, CEA will be mainstreamed in all technical programming aspects and become a key aspect in PCM of all the work of the SNS independent of project-based funding. 

This support will be provided for by a regional roving CEA delegate, who is supported by the regional IFRC CEA focal points in the respective regions. Red Cross Sister National Societies Sudan, South Sudan, Ivory Coast, Zambia, Mali.

Access to health care in Gaza The objective of this project is to contribute to the resilience of people living in the Gaza Strip by improving the access to quality health care. The humanitarian situation in Palestine's Gaza Strip has continuously and raplidly deteriorated since January 2006. Military operations lanched in 2012 have left Gaza in ruins and the already impoverished population in a devastating situation. The current health care system cannot provide for adequate treatment that many patients need. Health issues are often politicized, with patients find themselves caught up in a bueratic process after which they are tragically not allowed to leave the Gaza strip for specialized treatment. There are two hospitals from the Palestine Red Cresent Society already in the strip, but regrettably they have been facing decreasing donor support. The activities implemented and supported will eventually allow 26,400 people access to quality primary health care and emergency service. This will happen through the two exsisting Palestine Red Cresent Soceity Hospitals, which are currently being transformed from general hospitals to specialized referral hospitals. This will be done since paticularly the referral of specialized and critical cases outside of the Gaza Strip is challenging. The project will have a total of 30,000 beneficiaries. The implementing partner of the project is The Palestine Red Cresent Society with the support of The Netherlands Red Cross Society. The two hospitals (Al Quds Hospital and Khan Younis) are located in Palestine's Gaza strip

Civil unrest in Syria: supporting affected families Since 2011, the unrest in Syrian has grown, with violence spreading throughout the country. It is estimated that 12.2 million people within Syria need humanitarian assistance, with more than half the pre-crisis population being displaced internally and or as refugees in neighbouring countries. Often, Syrians are displaced multiple times. Four out of five Syrians are living in poverty, and two-thirds live in extreme poverty. Every aspect of life is affected, and there are overloads in basic health care services and decreased access to food and water.
