Since 2015, ADRA has placed a priority on meeting the essential needs of refugee families and individuals in the European refugee crisis. Over the past two years, more than 1.3 million people who are fleeing conflict and persecution have passed through Greece in search of safety and a better life in Europe. ADRA started its response to the European refugee crisis in July 2015 along the Balkan route with humanitarian activities in Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, and Hungary.
