Torrential downpours have swamped migrant tents in a camp set up on the Greek island of Lesbos.
An AGPS news correspondent said the heavy rains turned the camp into a mud bog, exacerbating even further the migrants’ squalid humanitarian condition.
Palestinian refugees from Syria continue to risk their lives onboard the “death boats” to Greece, rummaging around for a momentary respite from the daily scenes of bloodshed and destruction. However, the initial hope for change after the destruction of their shelters in war-torn Syria turned into an endless fear for those living inside the camp. They fear they've ended up in a shelter that is far worse, with the global coronavirus pandemic adding to their worries. Many feel they will never be able to get out of what seems like an endless ordeal.
AGPS has kept record of the death of dozens of refugees onboard Greece-bound ships. Several others have been arrested by Greek coast guards.
Activists estimate that around 4,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria are taking cover on such Greek islands as Lesbos, Mytilene, Chios, Leros, and Kos, among other areas.
