Europe is suffering from a massive migration crisis, trying to find a way to tackle the flow of undocumented migrants. Greece is on the frontline of the refugee crisis, as hundreds of thousands of people arrive in the Balkan state crossing the Mediterranean in order to seek asylum in the
European Union. Currently
Greece hosts about 62,000 refugees, including up to 16,000 migrants places in islands’ camps.
The number of incidents involving migrants had recently increased due to their dissatisfaction of being prevented from reaching Central and Northern Europe.
