NGOs raise alarm at growing hunger amongst refugees and asylum seekers in Greece
A halt to cash assistance for asylum seekers, and the denial of food support to recognised refugees and rejected asylum seekers is creating a hunger crisis in Greece, 27 NGOs and civil society organisations warn today.
Denying food: Instead of receiving protection people go hungry on EU soil
