Hundreds of Refugees Arrive in Greece Despite New Turkey-EU Accord

HeadlineMar 21, 2016

Hundreds of refugees have arrived on the Greek islands despite a new deal between Turkey and the European Union aimed at reducing the flow. Two Syrian refugees died over the weekend attempting the crossing, while two little girls were found drowned. Under the accord, all people now arriving on the islands face a return to Turkey. For every Syrian refugee sent back to Turkey from Greece, the EU has vowed to resettle one Syrian from the Turkish refugee camps.
