UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, appeals for calm and restraint after a series of deplorable and intimidating acts on the Greek Aegean islands against refugees and migrants, humanitarian workers, including a UNHCR staff member on Lesvos and the arson of a UNHCR transit site for new arrivals on Lesvos’s north shore. UNHCR has received reports of attacks against Non Governmental Organisations and journalists.
