Greek authorities have announced the suspension of asylum applications for migrants arriving from Libya following a recent surge in arrivals. Over 2,000 migrants have landed on the island of Crete in recent days, straining resources and prompting the decision. The suspension is intended to address the immediate influx and allow authorities to manage the processing of asylum claims more effectively. This move raises concerns about the humanitarian implications for asylum seekers and the adherence to international refugee laws.
