Refugees on the island of Chios, Greece, November, 2016.

Hussein is 8 years old, he is from Iraq and he suffers from liver disease. According to the doctors in Iraq, Hussein may need a transplant. He is trapped in the island of Chios his family (father, mother and three siblings) The family had crossed the Aegean and arrived on Chios island on 25 November 2016. After the police took their fingerprints in the Vial refugee camp, they were told that there was no space there and they were directed to Souda camp. The family was sleeping rough in a flimsy tent in the beach outside the camp.

Hussein’s father, Asad, told Amnesty International: ‘In Iraq, the situation is not safe… My son suffers from liver disease. There is no medicine, no treatment for my son in Iraq… We lost his medicine in the sea…Even in the school in Iraq, they did not want to register him because he was sick…”

Conditions in Souda camp are dire particularly for people who as a result of overcrowding slept in tents exposed to low temperatures and heavy rain. Many refugees including vulnerable families slept in tents next to the beach. The refugees interviewed spoke of a lack of heating or insufficient heating and hot water and their security fears stemming either from fights between different nationalities or racist attacks by members of far-right groups on Chios. The majority of people stranded in Chios arrived after the 20 March 2016 following the implementation of the EU Turkey deal which foresees the return of refugees to Turkey. While their asylum claim is reviewed they are not allowed to leave the island. More than 4,000 refugees and migrants are stranded on the island, the majority in dire conditions.
