		</div><p>Authorities in Greece have reopened a disused Olympic venue to house migrants and refugees camped out in central Athens.</p>
<p>Police escorted buses carrying about 500 people, mostly from Syria and Afghanistan, from Victoria Square in central Athens to the Galatsi Olympic Hall.</p>
<p>It was used for table tennis and rhythmic gymnastics during the 2004 Athens Games, and is the second major Olympic venue to be reopened to accommodate refugees in recent weeks.</p>
<p>Yiannis Mouzalas, a migration affairs minister, promised to try to swiftly improve management of the crisis to avoid “local residents becoming susceptible to extremist, racist, xenophobic views”.</p>
<p>Local residents and an anti-racism group held small protests at the square on Thursday, urging the government to do more to ease the effects of the crisis.</p>
