With an open letter 61 NGOs, among them the Network for Children's Rights, are expressing their grave concern about the upcoming exits of at least 8,300 recognized refugees from accommodation and cash assistance schemes in Greece by the end of May 2020. A considerable number of these people, of which a large proportion are families with children, are facing an increased risk of homelessness amidst a global pandemic.
Find attached the letter which is addressed to the Minister of Migration and Asylum, Notis Mitarachis, to the European Commissioner for Migration and Home Affairs, Ylva Johansson and to the European Vice-President for Promoting our European Way of Life, Margaritis Schinas.
