Syrian refugees in Greece have been living in camps with terrible living conditions. Most families live in tents, pitched on ground that turns to slick mud after rain. There have been outbreaks of lice, respiratory infections, and one child got food poisoning from a sandwich that was provided to her from volunteer groups. They are being bused to formal, more habitable refugee camps that are run by the army. The evacuation of the Idomeni camp was run by Greek police and didn't have any kind of violent outbreak.
It's good that refugees are being helped and treated humanely. I haven't done a current event in nine weeks. Time to bs five more of these! Stay tuned.
