Hellenic Red Cross humanitarian activities in Greece

Overview

The Hellenic Red Cross has conducted various humanitarian and emergency response activities across Greece.

In Elassona, volunteers performing a first aid awareness activity successfully resuscitated a man who collapsed in a central square. The team utilized Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) to revive the individual before an ambulance arrived.

In late August 2026, the organization expanded its outreach in Athens and Piraeus. Mobile teams led by the Social Welfare Sector provided essential supplies, such as food, hygiene products, and sleeping mats, to approximately 120 homeless individuals. This initiative also included nursing care, mental health support, and information regarding social rights.
