Greece will halt for three months all asylum hearings for migrants arriving on boats from North Africa, the prime minister said on Wednesday amid a migrant surge from Libya.

"The road to Greece is closing... any migrants entering illegally will be arrested and detained," Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told parliament.
