In the context of the multifaceted charity work that we have been performing over all these years, and while being fully aware of the needs of our society, our Organization carried out 7 emergency humanitarian aid missions in 2023, in order to support the regions that were affected by natural disasters. Driven by a strong sense of responsibility, and after a thorough inquiry conducted by our Social Department regarding the needs that have arisen in the areas in question, we managed to provide our support, always with respect and dedication. Thanks to the excellent collaboration with private and public entities, we provided immediate and effective relief to our fellow citizens, by procuring specialized equipment to the professionals fighting in the front line, as well as essential items to the affected citizens.
More specifically, in July and August of 2023, we distributed to the fire-ravaged areas of Attica, Rhodes, Chios, Evros and Rhodopie, by road, air and sea, 16 tons of humanitarian aid and respirator masks to the heroes-firemen who have been fighting in the front line for days. The fires were followed by heavy rain and floods, and in September of the same year we carried out an emergency humanitarian aid mission to the flood-stricken areas of Thessaly.
In collaboration with the Association of Historic Military Vehicles, we provided 7 tons of humanitarian aid to the competent bodies, in order to be delivered to the citizens and the animals. At the same time, we managed to start a soup kitchen, offering a total of 1500 freshly cooked meals to our flood-stricken fellow citizens and the professionals on the field. We would like to thank all of our allies in this effort. The Association of Historic Military Vehicles, the Mediterra Institute, the Select Group of Special Operations, the volunteer organization Humanity Greece, the Hellenic Red Cross, the Rhodes organization "Niazome ke Prato" (Care in Action), the logistics company Transcombi Express, SKY express airlines, Lidl Hellas, and all of you out there, who so selflessly participated in the aid campaign that we organized in order to make all this come true.
The love and trust that you have been showing us, has become evident once more by your support, which has been defining for successfully completing our missions.
