Refugee Rescue
The Search and Rescue team of Refugee Rescue is operating on the North Shore of Lesvos to assist people in distress at sea. In cooperation with Light House Relief, their spotting operations keep watch along the coastline 21 hours a day and their land crew provides first care for the people who just arrived. Many have already lost their lives and people are still crossing the perilous stretch of water between Turkey and Lesvos every day. As long as people are denied safe passage to Europe, they will continue risking their lives unnecessarily, forced to take what is now one of the world’s most dangerous migratory routes in search of refuge.
