Greece is still grappling with the fallout of the 2008 debt crisis and a continual flow of migrants arriving on its shores, which have left an already-stressed welfare system struggling to cope, NBC News reports.
Meanwhile, one migrant opted to return to his war-torn homeland after facing extreme hardship in Greece.
βMy family will sell some gold so I can go again,β said Khasim. βThey say I must go again.β
Liza Schuster, an expert on return migrations to Afghanistan at City, University of London, said families often will have made a significant financial sacrifice to send someone to Europe and can be angry if they later show up on the doorstep.
βYou can find two, three, four, five, very angry brothers saying, 'Weβve put all of this together to save you and now not only are you not safe ... but weβve got no future, we have nothing,'β she said.
