Accomodation and Living, Vulnerable Groups

<p>2018 has brought some alarming new developments to the situation for refugees and displaced people on Chios. After the <a href="http://www.ekathimerini.com/224310/article/ekathimerini/news/chios-authorities-resist-expansion-of-vial-camp">failure</a> of a recent injunction meant to halt Vial’s expansion, a group of frustrated locals set up camp on the road leading into Vial, forcing refugees to walk through crowds of hostile people in order to access the camp. The locals’ everyday presence is objectively intimidating; at times it has crossed the line into outright bigotry and violence. We’ve witnessed xenophobic language first-hand, and one woman at our Athena Centre for Women reported being kicked by a local woman in the crowd – a completely unacceptable act of hate.</p>

<p>Solidarity groups and organisations call for urgent action as winter is coming for refugees in Greece</p>
<p>Over 40 solidarity groups and organisations are calling for urgent action from the Greek local and national authorities to prevent more refugees from dying in the cold as winter sets in once again. They expect more groups and organisations to join them over the next days and weeks.</p>
<p>Several places woke up on Thursday 12 October to find their neighbourhoods plastered with the emblematic picture of Moria camp on Lesvos, covered in snow last winter, while the collective has also launched a campaign on social media with the hashtag #opentheislands.</p>
