Hundreds of Refugees Arrive in Greece Despite New Turkey-EU Accord
------------------------------------------------------------------

Hundreds of refugees have arrived on the Greek islands despite a new
deal between Turkey and the European Union aimed at reducing the flow.
Two Syrian refugees died over the weekend attempting the crossing, while
two little girls were found drowned. Under the accord, all people now
arriving on the islands face a return to Turkey. For every Syrian
refugee sent back to Turkey from Greece, the EU has vowed to resettle
one Syrian from the Turkish refugee camps.
