Greece has suspended asylum applications from North Africa for three months due to a surge in migrant arrivals. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced that migrants arriving by boat will be detained, emphasizing a message to traffickers. The situation has led to significant strain on local resources, with over 9,000 migrants arriving since the start of 2025. Authorities are struggling to accommodate the influx, and discussions with Libyan officials to address the issue were blocked. NGOs criticize the treatment of migrants and the conditions in detention camps.
