Volunteers --- Indeed, that is quite true, but then again there are certain contexts where volunteers may eventually do more harm, despite intentions being quite the opposite. This was the case in 2016, though it may mainly be attributed in lack of coordination, along with volunteers operating in their own initiatives at the context of the large refugee influx in Lesvos. Eventually, issues were created eg. vaccinating the already vaccinated, inadvertent discrimination in aid were some among other things.
