Default Refugee Crisis and Greece

I know we are all concerned about the migrants in to the UK, but can we take a little time to consider the migrants into Greece, especially in light of their own economic crisis?

"The refugee crisis on three Greek islands near Turkey is "total chaos", the UN refugee agency UNHCR says.
Accommodation, water and sanitation are all inadequate for the many asylum seekers on Kos, Chios and Lesbos, the UNHCR says, calling it "shameful".
Greek PM Alexis Tsipras said the problem "surpasses" Greece's abilities and asked for EU help.
The UNHCR says nearly all new arrivals in Greece are refugees from the wars in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.
The organisation's European Director, Vincent Cochetel, said facilities for the refugees on the Greek islands were "totally inadequate", after a 750% increase in migrants arriving this year, compared with the same period last year.
He said 124,000 had arrived in Greece so far in 2015, including 50,000 in July alone.
"On most of the islands there is no reception capacity, people are not sleeping under any form of roof. So it's total chaos on the islands.
"After a couple of days they are transferred to Athens, there is nothing waiting for them in Athens," he complained.
Mr Tsipras said Greece's economic crisis meant it was facing a humanitarian "crisis within a crisis".

Greece is the nearest port of call for these migrants, but how on earth can it be possible for them to sustain migrancy in light of their own horrific economic problems?

Yes far from Greece asking for time to pay back what they owe someone should be paying them for housing displaced persons.
I haven't heard tales of Greeks screaming cockroaches and they're in a worse state than us, are we simply more callous?
