5 years agoUkrainian refugees collect water at Elefsin refugee camp set up at an industrial zone near Athens on April 5, 2022. - For more than two years, Greece's conservative government has prided itself on enforcing a "tough but fair" policy towards thousands of asylum seekers trying to cross the EU's southeastern border. Elefsina camp hosted Syrian refugees in 2016 and recently unaccompanied minors, who now have been transferred to another location as the camp is set to host evacuees from Ukraine.
