"We have a moral duty as Europeans to offer this help to refugees. I want to be clear. Greece is not alone in these difficult times," Stylianides told reporters after meeting Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in Athens.

"We stand ready to support and help Greece," he said, adding that apart from humanitarian aid, other European funds were available, according to Reuters.

The European Union launched a new aid program last week, worth an initial 700 million euros that mirrors the kind of disaster relief it offers developing nations.
