In flames once again the refugee camp. Thousands of refugees and migrants leave the structure in search of refuge. Episodes after the announcement of the 35 positive cases of coronavirus.
Large fires have burned the entire Moria refugee camp since midnight. The fire has escalated, and witnesses express doubts whether there will be even a trace in the morning to recall that there was ever a KYT.
Today thousands of refugees and migrants are homeless, literally on the streets.
Approximately 12,500 people who lived in Moria have abandoned it and most are moving to the Panagiouda settlement, while some are moving in other directions. The Fire Department at the moment confirms that there are no reports of casualties.
How the fire started
According to the first information, the fire was preceded by episodes that began around 11 at night. Tension erupted immediately after the announcement of the 35 positive cases of coronavirus in the camp and the refusal of some of them to go into quarantine.
Quarantine deniers soon collided with others who pointed to the danger to the entire camp as groups of refugees tried to escape through the KYT for fear of transmitting the virus.
At around 11 a.m. the first flames appeared around the perimeter of KYT and towards Eleonas.
The fire spread rapidly within the KYT and there a group of applicants blocked the entry of the Fire Service. Then the MAT intervened and with the use of tear gas and a click dispersed the assembled crowd, but the fire had started to burn down all critical facilities such as the offices of the European Asylum Service etc.
Fears are also being expressed about the new health structure donated by the Dutch government since the flames left the KYT and moved in all directions.
It should be noted that at the time of the fire, all the Lesbos fire brigades were at a distance of 70 km trying to control the double fire front that had previously erupted in Antissa and Vatoussa leaving about ten vehicles in the KYT that were impossible to pass. .
Commander N. Babakos, in a statement to “Ef.Syn.”, Stressed that PROKEKA, where dozens of detainees were being held for deportation, has already been evacuated.
