"Mentally, physically, and practically, life is not possible here": People continue to suffer in Greece's mainland refugee camps

Since our report Voices from the Camps was published in July 2024, living conditions and access to services in Greece’s mainland refugee camps have not improved. Nine months later, people are still isolated and unable to access their basic rights. There have been deaths of residents as well as reports of worsening conditions from people living in camps. For this follow-up report, Mobile Info Team (MIT) and Refugee Legal Support (RLS) spoke with residents of camps that we did not previously have contact with, as well as people we spoke to a year ago who continue to reside in the same facilities. Here, we highlight the enduring and serious deficiencies in living conditions for refugees in Greece.
