Гърция: Круизен кораб прибира 2500 бежанци и емигранти

A group of refugees and migrants waited to board the 'Eleftherios Venizelos' cruise ship in Kos on Saturday. The vessel has been turned into a temporary shelter and registration centre to help island authorities manage the large influx of migrants who have arrived on their shores. The Greek government arranged to have the migrants housed inside the ship, which has the capacity to hold 2,500 people. Authorities estimate that around 7,000 refugees and migrants are currently stranded on Kos. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR), 124,000 refugees and migrants, mainly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan, have arrived in Greece in 2015, with 50,000 people arriving in July alone.
