Syrian refugees hosted on ferry at Kos

More than a thousand undocumented migrants from Syria got on board 'Eleftherios Venizelos' ferry early Sunday.

The vessel is docked at Kos port in order to host migrants for a specific period. The authorities decided at a meeting on Saturday that only refugees from Syria will be hosted on the ship. Coast guard and police officers will remain on the ship in an attempt to prevent brawls and clashes among migrants of different nations as it happened on Saturday afternoon between Pakistanis and Afghans. The specific ferry with a 110-member crew is expected to remain in the area for approximately 15 days.
