The three camps to be closed, on the islands of Lesbos, Chios and Samos, currently house over 27,000 people under terrible conditions that have been repeatedly castigated by rights groups and the Council of Europe. They have a nominal capacity of just 4,500. (Photo by LOUISA GOULIAMAKI / AFP)

Atenas. El gobierno griego anunció este miércoles que cerrará sus tres campamentos de inmigrantes más superpoblados e insalubres y los reemplazará por estructuras cerradas, triplicando así la capacidad de acogida en las islas egeas de Lesbos, Samos y Chios.

"Descongestionar las islas es la prioridad en este momento", declaró el coordinador especial del gobierno para las migraciones, Alkiviadis Stefanis, en una conferencia de prensa.
