HIGHLIGHTS
As of 14 November, 673,916 refugees and migrants arrived in Greece, including 171,000 during the reporting period.
On 2 November, ferry companies went on a strike for 4 days and added additional pressure on all the islands where reception capacity were already overstretched. The increasing influx of arrivals, combined with the ferry strike, has put an extreme pressure on islands, where up to 28,000 refugees and migrants were staying on 6 November.
UNHCR continued to increase the reception capacity and started to implement the winterization plan, as the heavy rain and coolness of temperatures worsened an already difficult situation for refugees.
The first group of 30 refugees from Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic to be relocated, departed to Luxembourg on 4 November.
UNHCR enhanced its presence on the northern shores of Lesvos to better protect and assist refugees and migrants upon arrivals.
Nineteen shipwrecks took lives of 94 persons, and at least 92 went missing
