According to the story, published in the Guardian, under the terms of the EU-Turkey migration deal, migrants and asylum seekers who entered Greece after March 20 are being detained in refugee centers on the Greek islands, such as Lesvos and Chios. In previous months, hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers were allowed to move onwards towards northern Europe. Now some 6.000 people are being held in detention centers.

Refugees and aid workers have alleged that approximately 25 babies under the age of six months old, whose mothers cannot breastfeed, are being given roughly 100ml of milk formula just once a day on the island of Chios, according to photographs sent by detained refugees and testimonies provided by phone.

If that information is confirmed, it would mean that refugee babies may be receiving just a quarter of their recommended daily intake.

Both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have described the conditions in which asylum seekers and migrants are detained as appalling. Some 1.100 are trapped inside the Vial camp on Chios, where it would seem babies are being underfed; roughly 40% of the population of the camp are children.

European member states promised to provide hundreds of asylum officials to help Greece, who lacks enough personnel and resources, care for the detainees, but most of this support has yet to arrive. Europe has also promised to receive refugees under a relocation scheme, whose implementation has been stalling as well.
