A helping hand for Lesvos migrants

Queensland nurse Helen Zahos is returning to Greece to help the country through the humanitarian crisis.

Ms Zahos, a registered nurse and paramedic, has joined forces with Medicines du Monde and will be heading to Lesvos to provide aid and assistance to refugees during this tumultuous time.

In an interview with Greek Australian publication Neos Kosmos, Helen revealed that she will spend two months in Lesvos assisting medical teams on the island.

“[Medicines du Monde] report that the situation is dire, people are living in squalor; there are sanitation issues and hygiene issues. There are more people than what the medical team can cope with and people have become desperate, especially for food.”
