Where are they from?<\/strong><p>\r\nA large percentage of the most recent refugees are from Syria. In Syria, a more than four-year-old civil war between President Bashar al-Assad and various insurgent groups, including the Islamic State, has resulted in the deaths of more than 200,000 people and displaced millions. Other refugees are escaping violence in the nations of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan. More than 1 million refugees arrived in Europe by sea last year. The majority of them are simply seeking safety and the opportunities that Europe provides.<\/p> \r\n\r\n<p><strong>What is Samaritan\u2019s Purse doing on the ground?<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<p>Samaritan\u2019s Purse has staff on five islands in Greece, in two locations in mainland Greece, and in Croatia working in Jesus\u2019 Name to provide relief to vulnerable people. In Greece and Croatia, we are focusing on providing shelter, clean water, and sanitation, including heated shower containers and handwashing stations. Our teams have installed flooring, tarps, and heaters for winter shelters in Greece and are working to improve conditions within transit centers on a daily basis. We're also working to distribute backpacks filled with food, hygiene items, ponchos, hats, blankets, and other necessities. We've distributed more than 59,000 backpacks. Partners in Macedonia, Serbia, and Hungary are meeting similar needs in those countries.<\/p> \r\n\r\n<p>In Greece, we're providing refugees with Wi-Fi and phone charging stations so that they can stay in contact with their families while they travel. We're also distributing prepaid debit cards to vulnerable women and families so that they can buy the items they need most.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While others are involved in screening, registration, and transportation, our work is focused on helping these families by supplying them with essential resources and aid in Jesus' name.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div id=\"attachment_54427\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54427\" src=\"\/\/spweb-uploads.s3.theark.cloud\/2015\/09\/1599GR-D-1449.jpg\" alt=\"Our staff and volunteers are extending the love of Jesus Christ to refugees young and old.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spweb-uploads.s3.theark.cloud\/2015\/09\/1599GR-D-1449.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/spweb-uploads.s3.theark.cloud\/2015\/09\/1599GR-D-1449-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/spweb-uploads.s3.theark.cloud\/2015\/09\/1599GR-D-1449-690x460.jpg 690w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-54427\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our staff and volunteers are extending the love of Jesus Christ to refugees young and old.<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p><strong>Are most of the refugees men? If so, why?<\/strong><p>\r\nThe majority of refugees are young men. It is more difficult for women, children, and the elderly to travel such long distances. Travel over sea (from Turkey to Greece or from North Africa to various European destinations) is incredibly dangerous and thousands of lives have been lost. Children are especially vulnerable. Samaritan\u2019s Purse relief efforts are focused on helping the women and children who attempt the perilous journey.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Are people refusing food or other items?<\/strong><p>\r\nSamaritan\u2019s Purse staff report that refugees are in a rush to move on, but they are thankful for the assistance we have provided. Many are simply trying to get through to the next destination and are grateful for any help that they receive.<\/p> \r\n\r\n<p class=\"last\"><strong>How can Christians pray?<\/strong><p>\r\n<p>Please pray for the safety of the refugees and that they will see the light of the Gospel through our efforts. Pray for the work of our staff, volunteers, and evangelical partners. Especially, pray for peace in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia.<\/p>  \r\n      <\/div>\r\n   <\/div>\r\n   <!-- lp-intro-content-wrapper -->\r\n<\/div>\r\n<!-- lp2015-full -->\r\n<div class=\"float-spacer\"> <\/div>\r\n<p><a name=\"quicklink-headline\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n<div class=\"lp2015-full2\">\r\n   <div class=\"section-title-wrapper\">\r\n      <div class=\"section-title\">Headlines<\/div>\r\n   <\/div>\r\n \t <ul class=\"articleGrid\">  <li>  <div class=\"gcWrap donationitem-group\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samaritanspurse.org\/es\/article\/traveling-toward-peace\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"diFeatImg\" alt=\"1599GR \u2013 Refugees in Greece\" src=\"https:\/\/spweb-uploads.s3.theark.cloud\/2015\/11\/1599GR-D-2002-400x240.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samaritanspurse.org\/es\/article\/traveling-toward-peace\/\"><div class=\"catDate\"><span class=\"cat\">International Crisis Response<\/span><span class=\"date\">noviembre 25, 2015<\/span><\/div>      <div class=\"diTitle\"><div class=\"diTitleWrap\"><div class=\"gcShortCodeTitle\">Traveling Toward Peace<\/div><br \/>          <span class=\"diExcerpt\">Samaritan\u2019s Purse provides necessities, comfort, and hope for refugees traveling through...\u25b6<\/span>      <\/div> <!--close diTitleWrap -->   <\/div><\/a> <\/li>  <li>  <div class=\"gcWrap donationitem-group\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samaritanspurse.org\/es\/article\/aid-for-refugees-on-samos-island\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"diFeatImg\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/spweb-uploads.s3.theark.cloud\/2015\/10\/1599GR-B-1518-400x240.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samaritanspurse.org\/es\/article\/aid-for-refugees-on-samos-island\/\"><div class=\"catDate\"><span class=\"cat\">International Crisis Response<\/span><span class=\"date\">octubre 23, 2015<\/span><\/div>      <div class=\"diTitle\"><div class=\"diTitleWrap\"><div class=\"gcShortCodeTitle\">Aid for Refugees on Samos Island<\/div><br \/>          <span class=\"diExcerpt\">People landing in Greece after fleeing violence in their home countries require items to meet basic...\u25b6<\/span>      <\/div> <!--close diTitleWrap -->   <\/div><\/a> <\/li>  <li>  <div class=\"gcWrap donationitem-group\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samaritanspurse.org\/es\/article\/voyage-to-a-second-life\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"diFeatImg\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/spweb-uploads.s3.theark.cloud\/2015\/09\/1599GR-A-0861-400x240.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samaritanspurse.org\/es\/article\/voyage-to-a-second-life\/\"><div class=\"catDate\"><span class=\"cat\">International Crisis Response<\/span><span class=\"date\">octubre 15, 2015<\/span><\/div>      <div class=\"diTitle\"><div class=\"diTitleWrap\"><div class=\"gcShortCodeTitle\">Voyage to a Second Life<\/div><br \/>          <span class=\"diExcerpt\">Refugees from the Middle East are greeted by Samaritan&#039;s Purse after a dangerous journey to...\u25b6<\/span>      <\/div> <!--close diTitleWrap -->   <\/div><\/a> <\/li>  \r\n    <\/ul>\r\n    <div class=\"float-spacer2\">&nbsp;<\/div>\r\n    <ul class=\"articleGrid\"> \r\n     <li>  <div class=\"gcWrap donationitem-group\">       <a href=\"https:\/\/www.samaritanspurse.org\/es\/article\/a-syrian-refugee-and-her-cat-move-through-europe\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"diFeatImg\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/spweb-uploads.s3.theark.cloud\/2015\/09\/15102CT-B-830web-400x240.jpg\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samaritanspurse.org\/es\/article\/a-syrian-refugee-and-her-cat-move-through-europe\/\"><div class=\"catDate\"><span class=\"cat\">International Crisis Response<\/span><span class=\"date\">septiembre 23, 2015<\/span><\/div>      <div class=\"diTitle\"><div class=\"diTitleWrap\"><div class=\"gcShortCodeTitle\">Update: Amena and the Refugee Cat<\/div><br \/>          <span class=\"diExcerpt\">Syrian refugee Amena and her cat, Jacques, have made a long journey through Eastern Europe.
