The Greek government has drawn a series of emergency measures to deal with an increased influx of migrants and refugees into Greece. During a biministerial meeting held on Tuesday, chaired by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, it was decided that all newly-arrived will be transported from the islands to mainland Greece, where to be identified by the authorities as undocumented migrants or refugees, while Syrian refugees will be given all necessary documents immediately. There will be created special covered areas in camps and existing facilities where all necessary medical examinations will be carried out and all health and safety rules observed, while in view of the EU Summit, the government will take all necessary actions in order to manage, in the framework of European solidarity, the influx of migrants and refugeees to Europe and to ensure the proportionate distribution of refugees among all EU countries. “The refugee issue is international, not just Greek”, said government spokesman Gavriil Sakellarides.  “It requires seriousness, calmness and above all a humanitarian attitude. At this point, political games and gratuitous populism with human lives is unacceptable”.
