Abandoned and abused: the forgotten Syrian refugee children on a Greek detention island
Stranded on Chios women and teenagers face new horrors, with reports of police beatings, rape and knife attacks
Urgent need for a real solution for unaccompanied minor refugees in Greece
The issue of the identification, protection and support of unaccompanied minors in Greece remains of major importance, following the recent negative developments related to the discontinuation of specialised support programs, the withdrawal of NGOs dealing with their identification from the so-called hotspots, the closure of shelters for minors, but also the enormous delays in the process of asylum, family reunification and relocation. Many of these children are basically unprotected – often wrongly registered – and may even end up homeless in the streets of Greek cities, exposed to great dangers.

Growing number of unaccompanied refugee and migrant children in Greece in urgent need of shelter, care and protection
Only a third of the nearly 3,000 unaccompanied refugee and migrant children currently in Greece are receiving proper shelter and care, UNICEF warned today. The children’s agency is urging key policy and legal reforms to help keep vulnerable children safe.
The recent surge in the refugee and migrant arrivals has led to further overcrowding and deteriorating living conditions in island camps. In September this year there were more than 5,700 arrivals in Greece compared to an estimated 3,080 arrivals in September 2016.
