GREECE-PIRAEUS-SKARAMANGAS REFUGEE CAMP-MUNICIPAL YOUTH ORCHESTRA OF CARACAS-CONCERT

Refugee children listen to the performance given by the Municipal Youth Orchestra of Caracas from Venezuela at Skaramangas refugee camp near Piraeus, Greece, on May 10, 2017. The Venezuelan musicians gave a concert at Skaramangas refugee camp, the largest state-run refugee camp in Greece. In the Skaramangas refugee camp, more than 3,500 people try to function as a community and overcome daily challenges as they wait to be relocated in other European countries. Run by the Greek navy and operated by NGOs, the camp is located in a vast industrial zone next to Piraeus port. As a former shipyard, it is one of the most developed areas in infrastructure. With electricity, water heaters and air conditioning, the camp has 410 container homes which are equipped with small kitchenettes, washrooms, and beds. After the closure of Greece's northern borders in February 2016, more than 62,000 refugees and migrants are stranded in Greece. (Xinhua/Lefteris Partsalis)
