A suffocating situation is created in Greece with more than 25,000 refugees and immigrants trapped in the country, while FYROM has essentially sealed its border.

There are 5,000 refugees and migrants currently staying in the passenger areas at Piraeus port. Terminals at gates E1, E2, E3, E6 and E7, as well as a warehouse at the port are fully packed. At Gate E1 a place has been converted into a “warehouse” for food, clothing, medicine and other essentials that the volunteers are sharing out among the refugees and migrants in the port.

The volunteers from all over the world reported a touching response from the general public, who are arriving with more aid supplies daily, while fruits and vegetables are sent from the Athens central vegetable market each day.

Moreover, hundreds of refugees and immigrants have set temporary settlement at Victoria Square and Pedion tou Areos park, while Greek army has started construction works to set up tents at Antonis Tritsis Park, Ilion and Baseball Center, Elliniko.
