In Greece, the refugee camps on the Greek islands turned into swamps, due to heavy rains with the onset of winter. Videos and photos broadcast by activists and refugees from the islands, show shocking scenes of the dire situation experienced by the immigrants.
In the Chios camp, the Moria camp on the island of Lesbos Mytilene and the Samos camp on the island of Samos, the refugees are living difficult nights, due to the heavy rains that flooded their camps with rain and mud.
The refugees are forced to live in summer tents, between forests and trees, because there are insufficient spaces in the refugee camps, making their lives miserable and harsh under the tents and among the forests. They do not meet the right conditions and protect them against the heat or cold.
About 400 Palestinian-Syrian refugees are stranded in Greece, according to the statistics recorded at the end of 2016. Most of them are on the Islands of Lesbos, Mytilene, Chios, Leros and Kos, including families, women, children and elderly people. They are distributed across refugee camps, some of them are living in tents and others in large halls or caravans.
