Die schwere Finanzkrise in Griechenland könnte zu Hungeraufständen in den zahlreichen Migrantenlagern vor allem auf den Inseln der Ostägäis führen.

The Swedish Migration Board's ID department is responsible for going through all documentation handed in by asylum seekers. But increased workload has caused paperwork to pile up at the authority. In June at least 15,000 people – Syrians and those without passports – who applied for asylum back in 2014 were still waiting to have their documentation even looked at by the ID department.
