Shelter in humanitarian aid and the housing situation of migrants and refugees in Greece

The millions of people that are affected by natural disasters or are displaced because of
conflict require some form of assistance and most importantly a safe place to stay. Adequate shelter is necessary to provide dignity and security, promote health and enable access to livelihoods that support both family and community life. In this light, shelter cannot be considered in isolation but in a context of settlement. There are various shelter options and assistance methods. A proper strategy provides emergency solutions in the early stages and more durable solutions overtime that involve the host communities and persons of concern. Local construction is favored, as are solutions that promote integration and benefit the local economy. In Greece, the arrivals of migrants and refugees since 2015 have become a humanitarian crisis. The reception conditions are insufficient and there are issues to be addressed before the minimum standards for shelter are met.
