In response to the exponential turn in the refugee and migrant crisis impacting Europe since the beginning of 2015, UNHCR Office in Greece mobilized efforts to assist the Government in identifying the needs and protection concerns of the refugees. UNHCR coordinates and promotes the implementation of its mandate within the framework of the Refugee Coordination Model with the government, civil society (IPs and Ops) and other relevant international and national stakeholders to provide protection and assistance to the thousands of women, men, boys and girls who continue to arrive in Greece and move onwards under very compelling human and protection conditions.
