Refugee children and their families living in the camp of Koutsohero, near Larisa, enjoyed a festive event on Wednesday when visiting Santa Claus distributed presents, toys and traditional “melomakarona” sweets.
The event was organized by the municipality of Larisa as part of its efforts to spread some holiday cheer among the residents of the camp which houses more than 220 children and their families since November.
