Greece Offers Plans On Migrant Crisis

Greece’s caretaker government on Wednesday announced measures aimed at improving conditions for the tens of thousands of refugees and migrants arriving on eastern Greek islands, and to bolster support for the islands’ residents.

The country has borne the brunt of a massive refugee and migration influx to the European Union, with more than 200,000 people arriving so far this year. The coast guard said it had rescued 1,058 people at sea in 28 incidents from Tuesday morning to Wednesday morning. Those do not include hundreds who make it to the islands themselves.

ABC’s Tom Rivers has the details.
