Hotspot camp

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

The intention of the hotspots was to coordinate receiving, identifying, and registering refugees on the external borders of the EU.^[1]

As of 2018, there were five hotspots in Greece, on islands off the Turkish coast, and five in southern Italy.^[1]
