Illegal migrants continue to arrive and overcrowd the Greek islands. The government is still reluctant to relocate them to the mainland, despite promises to do so, and instead continues to build additional temporary camps to house them. At present, migrant camps on Lesbos are currently house over 20,000 refugees, yet they were originally built to house no more than 3,000 individuals.
