Argyroupolis

Despite the decrease in refugee flow to Greek islands, more than 6,000 refugees and immigrants are living under the worst conditions at Elliniko.

The management of “Elliniko SA” sent a letter warning of the possible epidemic outbreak, since more than 6,000 people are staying in the temporary refugee center at former Greek airport at Elliniko.

Greek authorities are on high alert due to high winds blowing Saturday across the country. In the prefecture of Laconia in the Peloponnese, firefighters have managed to contain most of the fire front but are still operating to extinguish smaller spots around the region. 130 firefighters and 51 vehicles started their operations at the break of dawn.
