The mayor of the Oropos municipality where the Malakasa refugee and migrant camp is located -- 40 kilometers from Athens -- has appealed to the Greek government to stop "human warehouses" following the tragic death of a young child at the camp.
A five-year-old Afghan boy was fatally injured after being run over by a heavy duty truck close to the entrance of the camp in Eastern Attica.
Local media reports said that the boy, one of nine children in a family staying at the camp, had been playing near the area. The child was rushed to hospital immediately but was pronounced dead on arrival.
