According to Article 29 Asylum Code beneficiaries of international protection should enjoy the same rights as Greek citizens and receive the necessary social assistance, according to the terms applicable to Greek citizens. Furthermore, according to Article 31 Asylum Code, beneficiaries of international protection have access to accommodation under the conditions and limitations applicable to third-country nationals residing legally in the country. However, administrative and bureaucratic barriers, gaps in state-led actions aimed at addressing the particular housing challenges faced by beneficiaries of international protection, non-effective implementation of the law, and the impact of the economic crisis, coupled with the severe limitations of (social) housing policies, prevent international protection holders from enjoying their rights. The measure in Article 109(1) Asylum Code on the immediate termination of the material reception conditions of Article 1(h) Asylum Code to residents in the accommodation facilities of Article 8(4) of L. 4375/2016, under the Reception and Identification Service, who are recognised as beneficiaries of international protection, as well as the thirty (30) day period from the notification of the decision on their departure from these accommodation facilities, continues to entail an immediate and serious risk of exposing thousands of beneficiaries to conditions of material deprivation and destitution, without access to basic means of subsistence and without the necessary legal documents to start their integration, in violation of their fundamental rights. 1443 According to the European Commission, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and in particular Articles 1 and 4 on human dignity and inhuman and degrading treatment, applies equally to asylum seekers, rejected asylum seekers and beneficiaries of international protection temporarily residing in camps. The need to ensure basic means of subsistence, such as the provision of food, applies to all persons in need, in particular vulnerable persons such as the sick, pregnant women and women who recently gave birth. It is thus concluded that food must be guaranteed for all persons residing in camps, irrespective of their legal status.1444 Similarly, the Greek Ombudsperson has expressed its concerns on this matter twice in 2024.1445 1441 1442 1443 1444 1445 Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, Report on the fact-finding mission concerning beneficiaries of international protection in Greece, 3 September 2024, p. 19, received by GCR on 13 january 2025 by the Dutch Embassy in Greece.
