Six migrant children were transported by air from Chios to Athens under the coordination of EKAV (National Center for Emergency Care). An aircraft left Elefsina Military Airport at 9 AM to pick up the minors. This urgent medical evacuation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by immigrant children, as five out of the six are reported to have multiple fractures, raising concerns about their safety and the circumstances they encountered.

The situation draws attention to the vulnerabilities of migrant communities, particularly children who often face perilous journeys. The fact that one of the children is unaccompanied further underscores the need for protective measures for vulnerable individuals within migrant populations. As they arrive at the Children's Hospital "Agia Sofia," there will be a focus not only on their immediate medical needs but also on their long-term welfare and support.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the humanitarian issues that persist in border regions like Chios, where migrants often face dangerous conditions. The airlift operation, while a vital and necessary response, also calls for a broader discussion on how to protect and care for unaccompanied minors and those injured in migrant journeys.
