The Greek government plans to close down most of its 42 migrant reception centres by September, migration minister Yiannis Mouzalas told Kathimerini on Sunday (17 July). They will be replaced by small-scale camps with better conditions, such as prefabricated homes with electricity and running water. Some 4,500 migrants living in the old Athens airport and port of Piraeus will be moved to three new camps within the next 10 days.
