The United Nations said on Friday, number of migrants arriving on Greece's islands has increased sixfold since last year, piling more pressure on the cash-strapped government's services. More than 42,000 people, most of them refugees, arrived in the first five months of the year, the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR said, part of a growing influx risking the crossing from north Africa to Europe.

Adding, "Greece does not have the additional resources to handle this humanitarian crisis."
