New batches of Palestinian and Syrian irregular migrants have reached the Greek island of Lesbos, coming from the Turkish seashore onboard inflatable vessels.
Turkey is a major crossing point for refugees and migrants trying to enter the EU.
AGPS documented the death of over 60 Palestinian refugees from Syria as they tried to cross borders on Europe-bound migrant boats.
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) put the number of migrants entering Greece in 2019 at 74,613.
In 2019, Turkish authorities held nearly 455,000 irregular migrants across the country, including about 60,000 trying to cross the Mediterranean.
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.
Activists estimate that around 4,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria are taking cover on such Greek islands as Lesbos, Mytilene, Chios, Leros, and Kos, among other areas.
