Sept. 2015 – HHI responded to the refugee crisis unfolding in Europe. An initial shipment of aid went to Greece and HHI placed a team on the ground in Croatia, working with relief agencies and partner orgs to coordinate delivering more aid.
Our team visited temporary camps erected along the Croatia/Serbian border, reporting back that although refugees rotate through every 24-36 hours the camps are overflowing capacity.

Most of the refugees they encountered are coming from places like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. They’ve made their way from these war-torn regions into Greece, then up into Serbia and then cross over into Croatia for processing, before moving on further into Europe.
Relief Aid Shipped
So far, HHI has sent a shipment of 9,000 HHI Care Kits to help with this crisis. The aid is en route to Greece and the International Medical Corps which will distribute the hygiene kits to refugees there. Watch the video to see the first shipment being loaded onto a FedEx truck at our Operations Hub.
