More than 57k refugees and migrants "trapped in Greece"
It added that the number includes 5,700 migrants housed in UNHCR-provided accommodation who had previously been excluded from the daily reports.Most of these migrants and refugees remained in Greece when the Balkan route closed, preventing them from reaching more affluent EU countries.
The number of people arriving to Europe from the Middle East, via Turkey, has decreased significantly after the EU and Turkey reached an agreement on returning illegal migrants.
The EU border agency Frontex said that more than 1.8 million migrants arrived in the EU in 2015.
