An alarm has been sounded by the Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Agenies about the possibility of jihadists in refugee camps in the Aegean islands, but also of the danger of former ISIS fighters attempting to cross to Europe through Turkey and Greece.

Greece is set to receive an extra €180 million (AU$288.3 million) in migrant aid from the European Commission for aid projects, thus acknowledging that Greece bore the weight of responsibility at the height of the crisis in the region.

The Royal Navy is to send a ship to assist with the migrant crisis in the Aegean Sea, according to Sky News.
