In a media briefing held today in Athens, at the end of their mission to Greece, UNHCR’s Director of the Bureau for Europe, Vincent Cochetel, and Director of Emergency, Security and Supply, Terry Morel, urged the Greek government to take stronger steps to address the refugee crisis unfolding in the country. This year alone, more than 107,000 persons, mainly refugees, have arrived, fleeing from conflict and violence.

The UNHCR Officials also called on the EU institutions, agencies and Member States to provide urgent and robust support to Greece.
