The EU-Turkey deal has resulted in approximately 40,000 people seeking asylum being trapped in appalling conditions in the five EU ‘hotspot’ refugee camps on the Greek islands, says Oxfam.
The European Union’s deal with Turkey to control migration has led to policies and practices in Greece which are short-sighted, unsustainable, ineffective and dangerous, say Oxfam and 24 other NGOs ahead of the deal’s third anniversary.
