Situation

The local Branch of the Portuguese Red Cross and other Non-Governmental Organisations, including the local Catholic Church, are running three transit camps where the refugees are being adequately housed.

The Red Cross Branch is gradually strengthening itself in order to take over greater responsibility in the fields of medical assistance, social care, supplementary feeding and tracing and mailing services. The League delegate is helping the Society implement these services.
