Europe must be ready for the possibility of a new refugee influx, Greece’s Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Wednesday, as an unfolding Turkish offensive in Syria could see more people flee the conflict-ridden region.

Asylum seekers at the reception and identification center at the island of Samos held a protest on Thursday demanding their departure from the island, in continuation of their Wednesday protest for the same reason.

The conditions in the refugee receptions centers on the islands of Lesvos and Samos are rapidly deteriorating, as the number of refugees and illegal immigrants hosted at Moria camp rose to 15,255 in just a week from 13,070.
