Blue Star

A 56-year-old female passenger on the Blue Star Paros ferry boat suffered serious leg injuries when she was hit by a truck as she disembarked at the port of Kalymnos on Saturday.

Initial reports suggested the truck's 35-year-old driver was maneuvering in order to board the vessel when the incident occurred.

About 50 Afghan and Syrian refugees, who are staying at the passenger terminals in Piraeus port , started fighting each other over charging their mobile phones, while one refugee was slightly injured and two people were arrested.

Port authorities intervened and managed to separate the refugees.

Two ferries are expected to dock at Piraeus port on Wednseday carrying more than 670 refugees and immigrants from Greek islands.

More specifically, “Ariadni” ferry arrived with 50 persons from Chios and 479 from Mytilene, while “Blue Star 2″ is expected to arrive to the port later in the day carrying 144 refugees and migrants from Dodecanese islands (74 from Rhodes and 70 from Kos).

The number of refugees and immigrants arriving in Greece continues to rise, while thousands of people are forced to live under the worst and unhygienic conditions without food or place to sleep.

The Greek government is looking for places to host the thousands of refugees and immigrants who are already in Greece, as well as the high number of people expected to arrive from Turkey in the next days, since the neighboring country does nothing to stem the refugee flow.

A suffocating situation has been created during the last days with thousands of exhausted and desperate refugees and immigrants being scattered all over Greece.

In Idomeni the situation is yeasty with the refugees having formed a human chain in front of the borders demanding to enter FYROM so as to continue their journey to Europe.

The refugees and immigrants who are stranded in Athens have set more than fifty tents in a park in the center of Greece’s capital since they are not allowed to continue their journey to northern Greece and then to other EU countries.

Thousands of refugees and migrants arrive every day at Greece’s main port Piraeus from the Greek islands. With FYROM having closed its borders, the situation created is suffocating, since the refugees and migrants are not allowed to continue their journey to Europe and are trapped in Greece.

Thousands of refugees and migrants arrive in Greece, but no one can leave Greece to continue their journey towards other European countries, as they desire, since FYROM has closed its border with Greece.

Refugees flock to the Greek island of Lesvos with authorities saying that more than 6,000 people have been registered and identified during the last three days, while Greek Coast Guard and Frontex continue to rescue people who are trying to reach Greece.
