More than 1,600 applications for international protection have been received since the beginning of the year until this Friday by those accommodated in the refugee centers in our country. Most are from Syria – 900. Followed by those from Afghanistan – over 500, bTV reported.
31% of the capacity of the centers is full. At Harmanli’s largest refugee center, capacity is currently 27%. 740 is the number of foreigners residing there.
Amin, 28, from Algeria, reached the camp in Harmanli after being detained near the border with Turkey.
“I jumped the fence. There were no police, if they were there, they would take me back to Turkey, “Amin said.
The poor condition of the border fence is an additional reason for the breakthrough of illegals, acknowledged in parliament and the interior minister, and reported six times higher migratory pressure.
“Given the danger of migrant pressure intensifying in the coming months, those Afghan citizens who are moving towards us are expected to be in close proximity within a month,” Rashkov said.
And the Prime Minister Stefan Yanev stated that he is ready to convene the Security Council at the Council of Ministers.
“Under the leadership of the Border Police – the staff that patrols has increased by 600 people at the moment,” said Gen. Stefan Yanev.
Despite the efforts of the services, the refugee centers in the country are gradually filling up. And people like Jahid, an Iraqi, are not happy with the conditions in Harmanli.
“I want more food for the people who are here because they are hungry and need more food because there is very little,” Jahid said.
“The living conditions of our residents meet European standards for such centers. They have the right to receive food, shelter, medical care, “said Galya Hristova, head of department at the ROC-Harmanli.
The management of the camp in Harmanli says that the refugees are also provided with free medicines, as well as tests for all newcomers. 140 of the foreigners were vaccinated there, and a total of 222 in all SAR centers.
Unlike the center in Harmanli, where so far there is no registered case of a foreigner with coronavirus, in the home in Lyubimets, which is a migration of the Ministry of Interior and is a closed type, from the beginning of August until now, registered sick foreigners with COVID- 19 are 27, and at the moment there are five active cases.
