A two-year-old girl, the child of Iraqi asylum-seekers, was run over and killed by a vehicle in an area known as Agia Ermioni on the island of Chios, shortly before noon on Monday.

According to sources, the vehicle was the property of a non-governmental organisation operating within the Reception and Identification Centre (RIC).
