The German migrant NGO “Mission Lifeline” is working diligently to raise money in order to fly scores of migrants from Greece to Germany.

According to the organization’s spokesman, the NGO has managed to raise about 55,000 euros in the few days since they first announced their plan. The money would be used to pay for two separate flights that would transport approximately 150 migrants from Greek camps to Germany.

If the NGO has its way, it would like to see a kind of migrant taxi system between the Greek island Lesbos and Berlin introduced. As of right now, the NGO’s efforts have been hindered by Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Interior, which has yet to give the organization permission to fly in migrants from Greece.

The German government isn’t the only national government that “Mission Lifeline” is trying to persuade to take in migrants from Greek camps. The organization is in the process of convincing other EU member states to do the same, Junge Freiheit reports.

Mission Lifeline argues that outbreaks of the virus in camps would “result in countless deaths”, despite not having any hard data to back up such claims.

Germany’s Federal Ministry of the Interior has advised the NGO against “raising unrealistic expectations of asylum seekers in the already tense situation on the Greek islands with an arbitrary approach”.

Last month, the German government claimed that it would be accepting some unaccompanied or sick, female migrant children from Greek camps. Despite these claims, of the 50 or so migrants who recently landed in Germany, just four were girls. As to whether the male migrants who were flown in are actually ill or under the age of 14, we’ll probably never know.

Last fall, a study conducted by the Institute of Legal Medicine in Münster revealed that nearly half of migrants who claim to be under the age of eighteen are actually adults. In the study, legal physicians investigated the age of 600 so-called ‘unaccompanied minor refugees” whose ages had been in doubt. What the researchers found was shocking.

Of the 600 ‘unaccompanied minors’ who were forensically examined by physicians, 40 percent of the young men were adults, Voice of Europe reported. Most of these men were from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Algeria, and Guinea.
