Hundreds of Palestinian-Syrian refugees stranded in Greece appealed to the UN bodies, the Palestine Liberation Organization, and the Palestinian Embassy in Greece to urgently step in so as to work out the refugee crisis, which has been going on for over ten months in Greece.
The refugees spoke out against the crackdowns perpetrated by the Greek government against them. They said the government has been denying them the right to undergo medical treatment and check-ups in public hospitals, forcing the refugees to pay steep fees to private clinics. Others have been through sharp health setbacks as they failed to meet the costly charges in private clinics.
Those taking shelter in Chios Island said they have been subjected to heavy beating, verbal abuse, humiliation, racism, and medical neglect by the Greek authorities. According to AGPS reporter, Palestinian-Syrian refugees who fled to Chios Island have been taking refuge in makeshift tents where insects and reptiles, paired with a poor hygiene, have made the area uninhabitable.
