Greek authorities are whizzing through work at the Elaionas facility where they hope to relocate refugees from the Pedion tou Areos Park, Athens, by Tuesday. Refugees are expected to be moved to the new region in western Attica by Tuesday. Refugees will be housed in the same containers that also housed the Athens’ earthquake victims in 1999.
