Government-Built Camps: Rights Groups and Mass Arrivals

government-built camps: Mouzalas praised a 10-month-old deportation deal between the European Union and Turkey that human rights groups have criticized, according to Metro News. He claims that 100,000 more migrants and refugees would have been stranded in Greece without the agreement. Migration Minister Yannis Mouzalas said Thursday that the people arriving on Greek islands from are not predominantly from war-torn countries like Syria and Iraq, a shift from the mass arrivals in 2015. Greece has reported that about 60,000 people are stranded in the country due to border closures elsewhere in Europe last year. Most live in government-built camps or state-sponsored housing schemes.
