Pictures of chaos are recorded in Crete, suffocating from the explosion of migratory flows. Only in the last 24 hours, more than 1,000 immigrants have been landed in Crete in Crete, and arrivals continued today with undiminished intensity. Most of the immigrants, most of them, arrived from the coast of Libya with the island reaching its limits as it has no temporary accommodation structures.
According to SKAI’s report, in its commercial port Rethymnon Existing about 600 people sitting under the hot sun and wait for their turn to get food. This is done the day before yesterday and is expected to continue in the coming days.
The planning was the 442 people who were at the point yesterday to leave Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and to these 442 more people were added to St. Galini yesterday and another 67 who also came from Agia Galini.
It is noted that in the Heraklion In the morning there were 3 cases still with arrivals of immigrants / refugees. One on the beach “Three Churches” with 38 people, one on the beach of Tsoutsoura with 33 people and one in good ports with 47 people. They are transported to Heraklion in a space that cannot accommodate more than 80 – 85 people and are expected to enter 300 people in there.
As SKAI’s journalist Haris Leontakis reports, their transfer is gradually done as there is no room for ships to be transported together, nor do they accept them in structures as a whole.
Today, 60-70 people are expected to leave Heraklion and the next to depart from Heraklion will be on the 17th of the month. That is, 250 people will stay in a place that is completely inappropriate. According to the report, it is not ventilated, it has no water, there is absolutely nothing and is expected to stay there for 10 days in the midst of high temperatures.
At the same time, a rough camp for 850 immigrants has been set up at the Chania Exhibition Center, in the absence of another hospitality.
