2017 saw the aggravation of the suffering of about 400 Palestinian-Syrian refugees stranded on the Greek Islands; Chios, Samos and Lesbos-Mytilene. They have been forced to live in canvas tents between forests and grasslands, because of the lack of adequate spaces and room in the refugee camps.
According to the Palestinian-Syrian refugee testimonies, the density of refugees in the camps and the lack of sufficient space has made their lives miserable and harsh under the tents and among the forests. The camps do not meet the appropriate conditions to protect them from the heat, cold, rain or storms.
Because of the large numbers of refugees and cases submitted, the refugees have to wait for several months before their cases are decided on so they can be transferred to the Greek mainland. This has aggravated their suffering and their feeling of great oppression.
