Palestinian asylum seekers sheltered on the Greek island of Kos said they have been deprived of healthcare services and hygiene kit needed to protect themselves against the coronavirus pandemic.
A Palestinian refugee told AGPS that an African migrant has died due to medical neglect. Greek authorities refused to transfer him to the hospital to remove an infected appendix.
Several cancer-stricken cases and expectant women are also in need of urgent medical assistance in the camp. A migrant suffering from Tuberculosis was only transferred to the hospital after three months. Another girl with psychological disorders has not been provided with psychological assistance.
More than 4,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria have sought shelter in Greece, where they live in filthy and overcrowded temporary camps, some for months or years.
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.
AGPS has kept record of the death of dozens of refugees onboard Greece-bound ships. Several others have been arrested by coast guards.
