Merkel And EU Officials Visit Turkey Camp.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and top EU officials are visiting

a migrant camp on the Turkish-Syrian border, as they seek to bolster a controversial EU-Turkey deal.
The delegation is inspecting living conditions at the Nizip camp, home to some 5,000 migrants.
However, rights groups have criticised the visit as "sanitised".
They also question the legality of the deal, which deports to Turkey migrants who do not obtain asylum in Greece.
They argue that Turkey is not a safe place to return people.
