More than 500 migrants, including Palestinian-Syrians, reached the Greek Islands, after crossing the Aegean Sea from Turkey aboard death boats. According to Human Rights reports, 507 refugees arrived at the Greek Islands, between 01-01-2018 and Thursday 04-01-2018.
According to the statistics, 266 people arrived at Lesbos Island, 102 in Chios and 139 refugees reached Samos, indicating the rise in the flow once again, with the start of 2018.
The number of Palestinian-Syrians stranded on the Greek Islands until the end of 2016, is estimated at 400 refugees, most of which are on the Islands of Lesbos, Mytilene, Chios, Leros and Kos. Children, women and elderly people are among the stranded, who are distributed across the refugee camps. Some are living in tents, while others are staying in caravans and large halls.
After seven years since the outbreak of war, and great pain and hope, AGPS has called for the documentation of their stories within the “This is My Story” project, launched by the Group in order to record the suffering of the Palestinian refugees during the Syrian war.
