ANYONE who imagines that the EU governments have an untainted history of humanitarianism should take a sharp look at what is happening on the Greek island of Chios, whose eastern shore is just a few miles away from that of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Turkey.
Last month almost 4,000 refugees were reported to be confined to squalid official camps in dismal and unsafe conditions on this beautiful and mountainous island. Each week more join them.
Refugees from the Syrian war, but from elsewhere too, have been arriving for years by sea from Turkey, often on rubber dinghies after paying people-smugglers dearly for the privilege of dangerous travel.
