21,000 migrants arrived in Greece last week: UN

GENEVA (Application) – About 21,000 exiles and transients touched base in emergency hit Greece a week ago — almost a large portion of the aggregate number of landings in the majority of 2014 — the United Countries said Tuesday. 

"The pace of entries has been relentlessly expanding lately," UNHCR representative William Spindler told correspondents in Geneva, bringing the number to more than 160,000 since January.
