The British Government remains committed to supporting Greece's efforts to manage migration effectively and is working with the Greek Government to this end. Current UK support continues to be through provision of interpreters in the migrant camps, £500,000 funding for humanitarian supplies for the hotspot islands, as well as search and rescue operations in the Aegean.
