European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations

Europe

Humanitarian needs in the EU’s immediate neighbourhood have rapidly increased due to a fully-fledged war, refugee crisis, and natural hazards. The EU continues its humanitarian and civil protection operations to help the most vulnerable.

Armenia and Azerbaijan
The 6-week-long 2020 war in and around Nagorno-Karabakh resulted in severe consequences for the inhabitants of the region. Last year, the escalation and subsequent ceasefire led to mass exodus of people from Nagorno-Karabakh.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Since the beginning of 2018, more than 110,000 refugees and migrants arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina via the Western Balkans route, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Most of whom have left the country already.
Moldova
Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, which began in February 2022, continues to have significant consequences for neighbouring Moldova.
Türkiye
The country currently hosts the largest refugee population in the world, with close to 4 million people. Most refugees live outside camps.
