Dozens of Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban regime are now stranded in Greece, living in squalid conditions and pleading for urgent assistance. Many have been left without shelter, food, or medical care, raising concerns over a growing humanitarian crisis.
Desperate Conditions in Athens
In Athens, Afghan families are struggling to survive, with some forced to sleep in parks or abandoned buildings. One refugee, who wished to remain anonymous, described the situation as "worse than under the Taliban" due to the lack of support.
International Response Falls Short
Despite appeals from human rights organisations, Greece and the EU have yet to provide adequate aid. Local charities are overwhelmed, leaving many refugees without access to basic services.
Stories of Escape and Survival
Several refugees shared harrowing accounts of their journey, including dangerous crossings and family separations. "We risked everything to escape," said one mother. "Now we have nothing."
What’s Next for Afghan Refugees?
With winter approaching, advocates warn of a deepening crisis unless immediate action is taken. Calls for relocation programs and faster asylum processing are growing louder.
