Within the following months, the refugees will be hosted at the stadium of former Athens International Airport at Elliniko aiming to protect them from the bad weather which is forecast for the following days.

Since last week, it is estimated that up to 2,000 refugees found a shelter at the Sport Venue and Stadium at Palaio Faliro.

According to the newspaper “Elefteros Typos”, the stadium is to be evacuated today since World Wrestling Championship is to be held there. The refugees will be transferred to a building inside the former Athens International Airport at Elliniko.

Also, two reception centers at Sindos and Lavrio will get ready to host refugees, according to Deputy Minister of Immigration Policy, Yannis Mouzalas.

“We try to create small spaces so as to manage them easier and not to burden the Greek society” Mr. Mouzalas told Mega TV channel.

At the same time, he clarified that it is necessary to use Amygdaleza, too “because the immigrants who have illegally entered the country are subject to different laws,” he said.
