The Canadian Red Cross is shipping 20,000 relief items (cots and blankets) to support the German Red Cross response to the refugee crisis.
The German Red Cross is providing assistance at camps and reception centres, which has seen a large influx of refugees from Syria and other neighbouring countries in recent days.
The president and CEO of the Canadian Red Cross, Conrad Sauvé, visited refugee camps in Germany this week and described the situation as intensifying and that much more aid would be needed.
Canadians can make help by donating to the Refugee Crisis fund. The government of Canada is matching eligible donations.

The cots and blankets are part of Canadian Red Cross stock held in Ontario and stock from the Government of Quebec managed by the Canadian Red Cross in Montreal. Volunteers assisted in the effort this weekend to expedite these relief items to Germany.“No single country can bear the burden of this humanitarian crisis alone. A collaborative approach involving countries, humanitarian actors, and the global community is needed to respond to ever-growing needs,” says Conrad Sauvé.
