Mouzalas: “Refugee tents to be replaced with huts by 15 December”

The Alternate Minister of Migration Policy Yannis Mouzalas announced that the tents at the refugee hospitality center at Schisto will be replaced by huts by the 15^th of December, as part of the efforts to improve living conditions.

At present there are 760 refugees from Afghanistan – including 270 children – currently accommodated at the center that has been set up Schisto, where living conditions are difficult, as the weather conditions have deteriorated.

The Communist Party’s Diamanto Manolakou, who questioned the Alt. Minister on the tents, responded that the containers and huts should have already been there, since the weather conditions have deteriorated. She also accused the government of failing to help refugees reach their intended destinations.
