At least two migrants died on Sunday in a fire at a Greek island refugee camp, with the blaze triggering rioting by angry residents.
The fire inside the camp was extinguished by an airplane. But police later fired tear gas to control a crowd angered by the time it had taken, according to an AFP correspondent. Additional officers were sent from Athens in C-130 army airplanes in a bid to contain the situation, although local police sources said calm had returned to the camp by 2300 GMT.
But the number of arrivals has been steadily climbing in recent months causing a dangerous burden in the camps of the islands that are in the forefront of the migrant influx.
