Some 160 Palestinian refugees from Syria who have sought refuge north of the Greek island of Rhodes have been subjected to a dire humanitarian situation in the area.
The area where the camp is pitched served as a slaughterhouse for pigs, where slaughter hangers still figure.
The refugees denounced the absence of vital services, including healthcare, along with power and water.
They further spoke out against the spread of poisonous reptiles and rodents due to the poor hygiene in the camp.
The Greek authorities continue to drag their feet over the refugees’ calls to have their legal status worked out and to provide them with safe shelters.
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 Turkish coast guards.
Activists estimate that around 4,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria are seeking refuge in Greece.
