Press Release: Kobane refugee crisis: EU steps up assistance

The European Commission gave € 3.9 million in humanitarian funding to help meet the urgent needs of the thousands of people who have fled to Turkey in October 2014 to escape the fighting in the Syrian town of Kobane.

This funding will help humanitarian organizations provide clean water, shelter and medicine to refugees, as well as ensure sanitation and food services.
