Since October 2015 DFID has been supporting child refugees in Greece with assistance such as food, clean water and safe shelter, as well as access to protection and psychosocial care. For example, we have provided over 500 safe accommodation spaces for unaccompanied children since September 2016. In Italy, DFID has provided assistance to unaccompanied minors and supported the deployment of child protection experts.
