Palestinian refugees and hundreds of asylum seekers sheltered in a migrant facility set up on Greece’s Chios Island continue to denounce the poor hygiene and absence of healthcare services.
Live photos obtained by AGPS show mounds of trash piled up near migrant tents, which increases the risk of COVID-19 contaminations and the spread of life-threatening diseases.
A migrant infected with tuberculosis was transferred to a detention center on the island to a hospital after he kept appealing for urgent humanitarian action for over three months. Another migrant woman with psychological disorders has been left without treatment for months.
Palestinian refugees and other migrants have been subjected to a dire humanitarian situation in substandard facilities set up in Greece, most of them vastly overcrowded, unhygienic and violence-prone.
Palestinian refugees from Syria continue to risk their lives onboard the “death boats” to Greece. Activists estimate that around 4,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria are taking shelter on Greek islands.
Aid organisations stress that conditions in the overcrowded camps are inhumane, calling for migrants to be evacuated from the Greek islands.
