cont.
then we have mainland greece with piraeus where most ships that come from the islands arrive.
things there are very tough with lack of shifts and always with the state shining with it's complete absence.
an initiative based in piraeus

there are open camps made by the state that are fuctional only due to volunteers like elliniko and eleonas.
other camps that are been created now (mainly using labor provided by soldiers) are insufficient and we had examples of refugees refusing to stay in a camp in volos since living in the streets provides better conditions.
Squatted buildings (mostly by anarchists) have been popping up almost weekly in order to house the refugees and follow the principal of self governenceby all participants (refugees and solidarity members)
the first and most prominent of such squats is notara

already existing structures created to deal with the economic crisis like the metropolitan social clinic of elliniko, nosotros social centre, social kitchens (o allos anthropos etc) have also been very helpful.
the main problem right now is in eidomeni where refugees gather to the borders with macedonia hoping to find a pass to europe.
conditions there are terrible and the state is more absent than ever.
recently refugees charged the borders and entered macedonia.
despite that they were beaten and they were illegally smuggled back to greece.
despite claiming otherwise i think that the greek police will attack eidomeni the same way we saw it happen in Calais and will transport refugees in camps to die outside the spotlight.

Now how things are generally
according to mainstream media over half of the greek population has helped in one way or another the refugees (most donating clothes, then food and few volunteering) and i can tell you this is not an exaggeration.
the vast majority sympathise with the refugees and blame imperialism and the eu for the problem.
the media have turned from their usual xenophobic stance but they maintain the misinformation obviously.
this response to a call for solidarity is indicative

Please note that not everything is included in this map.
the conditions for refugees and migrants vary but for the most part they are horrible.
sorry for the mistakes and omissions since i was in a hurry writing this and i'm currently very sick.
if i have anything to add or correct i will post more.
