Government shuts down refugee receiving point Stage 2 Transit Camp in Greece

Receiving points for refugees in Greece are being shut down, galvanizing a call from human rights activists in Lesbos to keep the north shore open. Refugee Rescue, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) team operating in the country’s North Shore, claimed in a statement that the closure will be devastating for both refugees and local communities.
