Hotspot camp

A hotspot camp is a refugee camp designed as the initial reception point for refugees on the borders of the European Union.

Originally established in 2015, the intention of the hotspots was to coordinate receiving, identifying, and registering refugees on the external borders of the EU.

In some facilities, people are first identified through personal information by law enforcement personnel, also collecting other data including fingerprints and photos.

As of 2022, there were five hotspot camps in Greece, on the islands of Chios, Kos, Leros, Lesvos and Samos off the Turkish coast, and five in southern Italy, in Lampedusa, Messina, Pozzallo, Taranto and Trapani.
