Seven people drown, 12 rescued as Greece grapples with migrants influx

The pace of arrivals accelerated this year: 41,940 people arrived from Jan. 1 until Sept. 22, compared to 27,718 and 32,494 in the whole of 2017 and 2018, respectively, according to UNHCR figures.

An estimated 29,000 migrants are waiting for processing on Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Leros and Kos, with the camps built for just around 6,000. Greece’s Civil Protection Minister Michalis Chryssochoidis met on Friday with governors of Greece’s 13 provinces to discuss the plans.
