About 4,300 more people, mainly Syrians, place strain on resources
The Greek government was set to hold talks on Wednesday on the huge numbers of migrants landing on its shores, as about 4,300 more people, most of them Syrian refugees, arrived in Athens overnight.
Two ships carrying the latest arrivals docked at Athens' Piraeus port after sailing from Lesbos, one of several Greek islands struggling to cope with the huge waves of people crossing the Mediterranean from Turkey in flimsy boats.
