Hundreds of Palestinian Refugees Facing Squalid Conditions on Greek Island

Palestinian refugees sheltered in the new Moria camp, pitched on the Greek island of Mytilene, continue to sound distress signals over the exacerbated humanitarian condition they have been subjected to.

The refugees told human rights groups that they have been enduring medical neglect and poor hygiene in the makeshift tents they have been locked up in.

Dozens of displaced Palestinian families have expressed concerns over their fate as a freezing winter season has overwhelmed the southeastern European country.

Over recent years, Greek refugee camps have reportedly been running at three times their capacity. Overpopulated refugee camps cause a shortage of resources, not least healthcare. Often mental health issues are overlooked, despite many refugees having experienced severe trauma.
