of 2022. What kinds of conflicts and crises are pushing people out of their homelands and how are organizations like ours providing support and hope in the midst of uncertainty?<\/strong><\/p><p>In the last four months, more than <b>25,000<\/b> people arrived on Greece\u2019s shores seeking refuge and asylum. That\u2019s more than the entirety of 2022.\u00a0<\/p><p>And now, with increased conflict in the Middle East such as the Palestinian War, more and more people are arriving. Before news articles or data reports, islands like Kos and Samos as well as Athenian suburbs like Victoria are the first to see and deal with the impacts of these crises.\u00a0<\/p><p>At The Hub on Kos, we have just surpassed <strong>6,0<\/strong><b>00 total registrations<\/b>, and the estimated number of people on the island has spiked from around 1,000 in August to over 4,000 in October. Facilities are severely overcrowded and resources are growing sparse. In Athens, places like Victoria Square are transforming and becoming reminiscent of 2018, where entire families are living in poverty and homelessness. <strong>Closed Control Access Camps (CCACs) are at full capacity<\/strong> for the first time in three years, leaving few options for those who have completed asylum applications.<\/p><p>So, you might be wondering, why is migration to Greece spiking again and what will happen in the coming months?\u00a0<\/p><p>In 2023, groups who make up the largest portion of Greece\u2019s incoming refugees are from Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, and Somalia. Palestine has been facing persecution by the Israeli government for decades, which has worsened severely in the last several weeks with the development of full-on war against the Palestinian people. Afghans have been facing the resurgence of Taliban control since mid-2021, with severe deterioration of women\u2019s rights to education and participation in public spheres as a consequence. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org\/en\/location\/asia-and-the-pacific\/south-asia\/afghanistan\/report-afghanistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">An estimated 97%<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> of Afghans<\/span><\/a> are living in poverty since the Taliban&#8217;s takeover, exacerbated by natural disasters including drought, earthquakes, and floods.

In Somalia, some half of the country\u2019s <strong>17 million-person population faces acute food insecurity, malnutrition, and starvation<\/strong>. Since 2009, the ongoing civil war and presence of militant group al-Shabaab threatens the peace and safety of civilians. This is just a small glimpse into the types of conflict and instability that forces people to flee their homelands in search of a better life.\u00a0<\/p><p>With conflict on the rise, asylum applications are being processed en masse to make room for all the new arrivals. People are being dumped on the mainland with no resources: in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infomigrants.net\/fr\/post\/52343\/greek-island-camps-over-capacity-after-hundreds-of-migrants-rescued\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">September<\/a>,<\/span> over 900 refugees were transferred from CCACs on the islands to the mainland.\u00a0<\/p><p>Every year, we see an increase of people arriving during the summer months because the weather and increased small boat traffic allow it. But this year, there are more factors at play that have led to such a profound increase in new arrivals in the last few months. No one is sure what the future will hold, but with the ongoing war in Palestine things are sure to escalate before they calm down again. In the meantime, organizations such as ours will continue to be indiscriminately devoted to helping people on the move. <strong>In solidarity and dedication, there is hope.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5bcff7af elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5bcff7af\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-37635979\" data-id=\"37635979\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-719f81c3 elementor-share-buttons--view-icon-text elementor-share-buttons--skin-gradient elementor-share-buttons--shape-square elementor-grid-0 elementor-share-buttons--color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-share-buttons\" data-id=\"719f81c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"share-buttons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid\" role=\"list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_facebook\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Teilen auf facebook\" data-no-translation-aria-label=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-facebook\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFacebook\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_twitter\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Teilen auf twitter\" data-no-translation-aria-label=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-twitter\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTwitter\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-grid-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn elementor-share-btn_linkedin\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Teilen auf linkedin\" data-no-translation-aria-label=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-share-btn__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-share-btn__title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLinkedIn\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3e160e40 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3e160e40\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-63387e42\" data-id=\"63387e42\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More people have arrived in Greece in the last four months than the entirety of 2022.
