The short answer is: It’s because Greece is a modern developed society, where it’s not acceptable to have people (regardless of age), starve to death in the streets.
In general the more developed a society is, the harder it is to fall between the cracks and end up not being able to afford food and shelter. Does it still happen, yes, but to a much less extend than in a place like the UAE, especially if the UAE didn’t just send people back to where they came from to starve to death.

Actually that’s not true. In Greece, pensioners keep getting their pensions cut back. They get a very low amount compared to what they’re supposed to meaning all the taxes they paid go to waste because they’re never seeing that money again
