IOM supports the Turkish Coast Guard to meet the humanitarian needs of the rescued migrants and refugees. Our activities include: • Food distribution • Non-food item (NFI) distribution: clothing, shoes, blankets, heaters, tarpaulins In addition, IOM Turkey supports the Turkish Coast Guard by strengthening lifesaving activities and facilitating technical conversations on lifesaving technologies. For example, IOM Turkey provided rescue platforms for the Turkish Coast Guard Command during rescue operations that provide flotation for ten adults until further assistance can arrive. | ![]() |
