KASTANIES/LESBOS, Greece—European Union officials on March 3 promised more cash for Greece during a visit to its border with Turkey, which tens of thousands of immigrants and refugees have been trying for days to breach.
The officials urged Turkey to abide by a 2016 deal that requires it to keep the immigrants on its soil in return for EU aid. After an upsurge in fighting in Syria last week, Ankara says it would no longer stop immigrants who want to reach Europe.
