Our #SPACES program is as invigorating for these #children as it is for us. It reminds us that only with proper care, children can reach their utmost potential and that learning is a mutual effort. For more info about SPACES: bit.ly/31guoN1 #KaraTepe #Greece #Europe

Tough weeks behind us, difficult months ahead of us. We hope all these people will be moved to another place before winter. But we are preparing our emergency response in this dire reality. Not doing anything is not an option! #Lesvos #Greece

Yesterday, an #earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 has struck #Samos and #Turkey’s Aegean coast. The shock was felt in #Athens, #Istanbul, #Bulgaria and #Albania. During the evening, there were strong aftershocks as high as a 4.6 magnitude and a series of minor #tsunamis followed.

The seafront of #Samos was flooded yesterday after the #earthquake, causing damage to property, shops, cafes and vehicles. Several houses collapsed. Families were accommodated in the football stadium. In the #Vathy camp, there have been no reports of damage or injuries.

Two high school students were killed due to yesterday’s #earthquake. Eight injured people were taken to the hospital in #Samos. In #Karlovassi, there are currently 11 people in the local #health centre. ©️Photo AFP

Destruction following the #earthquake was widespread in #Izmir where at least 6 deaths were recorded. #Greece offered to assist #Turkish authorities to locate and rescue people trapped under the rubble. Our thoughts are with those impacted by this #tragedy. ©️Photo Reuters

Everyone is safe in the #VathyCamp on #Samos, further to the accidental fire that broke out in the late hours of the night. The firefighters immediately controlled the situation while our community volunteers helped care for the 350 residents whose shelters were affected.

This morning, another devastating fire broke out in #VathyCamp on #Samos. Fortunately, the fire is now under control thanks to the immediate response of the local fire brigade and help of the camp residents. #Greece

Approximately 150 shelters housing 700 residents were affected in today's fire in the #VathyCamp on #Samos. We are now working with the other #NGOs on the island to implement an emergency response.

In an effort to provide safer and more enabling environments for unaccompanied #minor #refugees in #Greece, movementontheground and @HomeProjectOrg have partnered to open two traditional homes in #Athens.

Together with project partners Watershed and Deutsches Rotes Kreuz, our team of community volunteers started the preliminary work on 36 hot water shower stations in RIC #Lesvos to be ready by the end of the month. Check the following link For more information: bit.ly/33gNSlT

Three of the five movementontheground founders, Charlie Macgregor, Adil Izemrane and Johnny de Mol, caught up to chat all things #MOTG. The session was an opportunity to dive into the current #situation and address criticisms. Watch full conversation here: bit.ly/39GQA81

Give a hug to someone who needs one. Ask for a hug if you need one. I invite Aline Lahoud and Cynthya Karam سينتيا كرم and invite you All to join movementontheground to create the world’s largest hug that connects us all. We’re all only one hug away. #hugaway #MikeMassy

Now more than ever, people are craving #human connection. A fate long experienced by the people we work with and for. Living dire conditions, intensified by the harsh winter weather and #COVID19. Unsure when they will be able to hug the ones they love again. #Hugaway
