Syrian migrant Bashar
Wakaa and his heavily
pregnant wife are days away
from the birth of their third
child, stranded on the Greek
island of Lesbos in a muddy,
garbage-strewn olive grove
with no running water or
toilets.
GALLERY PHOTOS

Nearby, three Syrian men share a flimsy tent designed for
two. Like the expectant couple, they arrived by rubber
dinghy from Turkey only to find the island's migrant camp in
a disused military base was severely overcrowded.
"This is not a life for humans," said 23-year-old Anas
Bakour, one of the men who shares the rain-sodden tent.
"The animals have a better life."

The hundreds sleeping in the woods
are among more than 8,500 asylum-
seekers stuck on Lesbos, where
facilities for migrants were only
designed to accommodate about
3,000. Thousands more are on four
other Greek islands close to Turkey.
A deal between the European Union
and Turkey struck in 2016 stemmed
the uncontrolled exodus of nearly a
million people across the Aegean Sea
the year before.
Under the agreement, anyone
crossing to Greece from Turkey who
does not qualify for asylum must be
deported.

Greek officials are keen to discuss
continued cooperation on the
migrant pact with Turkish
President Tayyip Erdogan, who
arrived in Athens on Thursday for
the first visit to the country by a
Turkish head of state since 1952.
Though arrivals collapsed in 2016
following the deal, they have
recently ticked up. In the four
months to November, 15,800
asylum-seekers arrived on Greek
islands, up 27 percent from last
year, according to U.N. refugee
(UNHCR) data.
GALLERY PHOTOS

The data does not give monthly
arrivals by country of origin but a
UNHCR spokesman in Greece said
most were Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans,
as has been the case throughout the
crisis.
Aid groups and experts on Europe's
migration crisis say the main problem
is a lack of political will to improve
conditions on the Greek islands, in the
hope of dissuading more migrants
from risking the sea crossing.
"No one will admit it but it's a
discouraging factor, a discouraging
message for anyone who may want to
come," said Konstantinos Filis,
research director at Greece's Institute
for International Relations.
GALLERY PHOTOS

Aid workers say there is now an
acute shortage of medical care, the
conditions are horrendous and
more and more depressed asylum-
seekers are cutting themselves or
attempting suicide.
Camp residents say gangs, some
armed with knives, roam at night,
drugs and alcohol circulate freely
and women cower in their shelters
for fear of attack.

"Any girl in this camp expects at
any moment that she will be
attacked," said Shahed Naji, 22,
an Iraqi woman.

The EU-Turkey deal does not explicitly forbid asylum-seekers from leaving the islands until claims
are assessed but the process takes months and stranded asylum-seekers grow desperate and
frustrated, said charity Medecins Sans Frontiers (MSF).
"People need to get off the island as soon as possible," said Aria Danika, MSF's field coordinator
in Lesbos.
Turkish officials said the increase in crossings to the Greek islands in recent months did not
reflect any slippage on their part in implementing its agreement with the EU.
Some camp residents on Lesbos said they were not aware of the deal blocking their journey
onwards to northern Europe. Others said they left Turkey because they could not find work and
found life unbearable.
"No one puts his life in danger to come by small boat if Turkey is good and he can live there,"
said Amal Adwan, a Palestinian born in Syria now on Lesbos.
Adwan, who made seven attempted sea crossings before reaching Lesbos, said she might have
had second thoughts if she had know what the conditions were like.
"If I knew before, maybe I wouldn't have come," she said.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi told Reuters there was "a certain
general resistance to moving people from the islands, not to create a pull factor".
Greece's migration ministry, which manages the Lesbos camp, has said it is trying to ease
overcrowding but could not remove people in large numbers because of the EU-Turkey pact.
It declined to give an immediate comment on conditions on Lesbos and other islands.
Ahead of Erdogan's visit, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told a Turkish news agency on
Wednesday that the EU-Turkey deal was "difficult but necessary".
The European Commission, which has offered Greece millions in emergency aid, said on
Thursday it was working on a daily basis with the Greek authorities to try to improve the
conditions on the islands but more needed to be done.
GALLERY PHOTOS

"I have earlier, also in Athens, expressed my frustration over
the fact that although we have put so much money at the
disposal of all the authorities, that still the situation on some
of the islands is unacceptable," the Commission's First Vice-
President Frans Timmermans told reporters.
On Lesbos, the once-welcoming community is fed up. On
Saturday, residents used cars to try to block a ferry from
unloading containers intended to house more refugees.

The island's mayor, Spyros Galinos, said EU policies had turned the island
into "an open prison" and called for protests and strikes against the deal.
Sitting in his office overlooking the port, he compared Lesbos to a
weightlifter being asked to lift heavier and heavier barbells: "Today, we're
buckling. When we get crushed the situation will be completely
unmanageable and explosive."
Back in the olive grove, Wakaa and his pregnant wife are despondent. "If
they can't accommodate these people then why are they accepting them in
the first place?" Wakaa asked. "Let them drown in the sea. At least they will
die and rest."

cross a part of the Aegean Sea from the Turkish coast.
