INTERSOS is an international humanitarian organization, based in Italy, which intervenes in emergencies and crises to bring immediate aid to people whose lives are threatened by conflict, violence, extreme poverty, and natural or artificial disasters.
In subsequent years, INTERSOS expanded its reach, establishing the Mine Action Unit with demining operations in Bosnia, Angola, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Humanitarian operations expanded to central and northern Bosnia, responding to the needs of the war-affected population, and Mozambique, facilitating the return of refugees from Malawi.
In the early years of the 21st century, INTERSOS expanded its presence in Sudan, Chad, Lebanon, Yemen, Mauritania and the Democratic Republic of Congo, supporting displaced persons, responding to humanitarian emergencies, and contributing to post-earthquake reconstruction in Indonesia.
The next decade saw INTERSOS on new missions to Jordan, the Central African Republic, and Italy: here, it opened INTERSOS24 in Rome to protect vulnerable migrant women and minors from COVID-19.
