ND leader: Conditions at Idomeni are inhuman, an organised evacuation plan is needed

"The government must face this huge humanitarian crisis and unfortunately the government and the state are absent" he said

Newsroom March 15 05:13

Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis visited on Tuesday the refugees camp in Idomeni and stated the condition there is a slap on civilised Europe’s face.

He also made a plea to the government, even at the ultimate hour, to draft an organised evacuation plan for the refugees because, as he said, a time health bomb can be created due to the adverse weather conditions.

Mr. Mitsotakis was briefed by the UNCHR and the Medicines Sans Frontieres representatives, the police and the medical staff on the conditions and after the end of his visit he said that the conditions in the refugee camp are unhuman.

“Twelve thousand people live in unprecedented conditions, in the mud with the help of a few volunteers that are doing their best but the dimension of the problem exceeds them,” he said adding that condition could not go on any more and Idomeni must be evacuated and that people should be transferred to other settlements so as not to set their health at risk.

“The government must face this huge humanitarian crisis and unfortunately the government and the state are absent.” Mr. Mitsotakis said.
