Thousands of migrants were stranded without shelter on the Greek island of Lesbos after fires razed their camp to the ground. The government said it would take days to find housing for all of them

Some who fled the fires on Tuesday and Wednesday night tested positive for COVID-19 after an outbreak of the disease in the camp, further complicating attempts to round up migrants and get them into alternative accommodation.

Petsas said Tuesday’s fire, which reduced the Moria camp holding some 12,500 people to a mass of smouldering steel and melted tent tarpaulin, was started by asylum seekers reacting to quarantine measures after COVID-19 infections were detected. He did not provide evidence. Local attitudes toward the migrants, on an island at the forefront of the European migrant crisis in 2015-2016, have turned largely hostile in recent years as the number of people in the camp gradually increased.

On a parking lot outside a supermarket, more than 1,000 migrants, including families with small children, waited in the sunshine for bottled water and food to be distributed.The 406 unaccompanied minors were taken to safe facilities in northern Greece where they will stay temporarily, while preparations for their relocation to other EU countries is ongoing.

They are 12.000 people... the fire started from them(not by accident) unfortunately ... & whats left unburned , they finished it in 2 days on the row...

Please send them to the US, from where the army and weapons destroyed their home.

Many viewers from France and other countries believe that settling migrants in Athens can solve their problem. But what wd they say if next time those migrant want to move to Paris and burn down Athens to do it?

Repatriate them to their home countries immediately after disembarking any vessel.

Ze gaan er hond er rd ophalen. Waarom van die jonge gasten. Terwijl families met echte klnderen niet geholpen kunnen worden, Ik krijg namelijk het idee dat ze jong volwassen mensen kiezen. Die ouderen anvallen, terwijl een gezin zich eerder aande regels houd, dus dat dit stinkwel

😪🙏🙏🙏

Bless these people. Imagine all that is going on and then on top of it all, you lose your temporary housing too! Remember to be grateful for all that is good in your life in these times. 💔🌎

My search history gives me different results for “lesbos without shelter”

Looks like residents leaving tedwheeler Portland as he lets Antifa burn the city down

Greece Turkey 👇 👇

They can all go home to

Didn’t I hear that they started it themselves? Can we have a bit of honest reporting, after all, you’re not the BBC.

So, you're saying that leaning towards socialism doesn't work? good to know.

unfortunately, migrants residing in the camp set the fires without even consider about the other people.... 12 hours later they returned to finish the job and burn down what was left by the first fire. Shame!

Illegal immigrants, they should all be send back . Their culture just doesn’t mix well with Europeans culture

That's the result of sick democracy.
