ATHENS:  A Syrian refugee was seriously hurt and others left without shelter as assailants wielding rocks and firebombs targeted a migrant camp on the Greek island of Chios, officials said Friday.

The attacks were among several incidents at the Souda camp just days after lawmakers from the Greek neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn visited Chios.

The man “was hurt when unknown assailants threw a large rock” from atop a medieval fort overlooking the camp early on Friday, UN refugee spokesman Roland Schoenbauer told.

Firebombs had been lobbed into the camp late Thursday and two volunteers were beaten up, police said, after initially declining to confirm the incident.—Agencies
