Greek authorities destroy makeshift irregular migrant camp in Patras

On Sunday 12 July 2009, Greek authorities evacuated and destroyed a makeshift camp in the port city of Patras where irregular migrants were living. The irregular migrants were living there for several years. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) also expressed concern about the medical and humanitarian condition of the migrants and asylum seekers who were left homeless, as well as those who were arrested and urged authorities to ensure humane living conditions and the provision of medical assistance to this population.
