European border restrictions to affect unaccompanied minors meant to be moved from Greek refugees camps - UN official
"The temporary shutdown of cross-border movement within the EU will inevitably impact when and how vulnerable children in Greece are relocated to Germany, Finland and other states," a senior UNICEF official said.
European border restrictions imposed because of the coronavirus will affect plans to transfer hundreds of children out of "dire and dangerous" refugee camps in Greece, a senior official for the United Nations children's fund said on Tuesday. But some EU member states have now imposed checks at borders that are normally in a zone of control-free travel, and EU leaders were expected later on Tuesday to seal the bloc's external borders.
She urged countries to explore "all possible measures to expedite the transfer of these children, so they can begin moving as soon as the borders reopen".
