Sputnik — Greek police say clashes have broken out between rival ethnic groups of refugees and other migrants at a detention camp on the eastern Aegean Sea island of Samos.
Six people have been injured and 25 detained. About 1,100 people are held in the facility.
On Wednesday 70 people were injured with seven hospitalised and around 300 left without shelter after a fire broke out at a refugee detention centre on the island of Lesbos.
Hundreds of migrants coming ashore on the Greek islands of Samos, Lesbos and Chios find themselves locked up for months at the so-called hotspots, created as part of the EU-Turkey migrant deal. Under the deal, Turkey pledged to take back all undocumented migrants that crossed into Europe through Turkey.
Last month, the Human Rights Watch issued a report saying that “inhumane” detention conditions in Greek centres processing refugees create a volatile atmosphere that contributes to daily violence.
