Refugees block national highway to protest living conditions

The Athens-Lamia national highway has been blocked by around 100 migrants and refugees living at the nearby Malakasa hotspot in eastern Attica.

The road block was initiated to protest against living conditions at the hotspot which had flooded earlier on Monday due to heavy rainfall in the area.

The protest has caused disruptions with traffic jams stretching for a few kilometers.
