Flambouraris: Refugees to be relocated from Athens' centre to housing facility by end of week
The government is building a temporary housing facility in the wider Elaionas area in western Athens to accommodate refugees currently living in the Pedion tou Areos park in the city’s center, State Minister for Cooperating Government Operations Alekos Flambouraris told ANA-MPA on Monday.
Asked on the issue, Flambouraris said refugees will be relocated by the end of the week, when the facility is expected to have been completed.
The facility, located at the borders of the Municipality of Athens and away from inhabited areas, is a joint project of the ministries of Interior, Labour, National Defence, Health and Tourism, as well as of the Prefecture of Attica, the Municipality of Athens, and the power and water utilities PPC and EYDAP respectively, Flambouraris said.
He also noted local bodies and volunteer organizations will also assist in the efforts.
