In flames once again the refugee camp. Episodes after the announcement of the 35 positive cases of coronavirus. Thousands of refugees and migrants in search of housing.
Large fires have burned the entire Moria refugee camp since midnight. Today thousands of refugees and migrants are homeless, literally on the streets.
Approximately 12,500 people living in Moria left the structure and initially moved to the Panagiouda settlement, while some of them moved in other directions. At the same time, the MAT squads with cages created a barrier at the height of Kara Tepe that prevented them from entering the city.
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. The tension was provoked after the announcement of the 35 positive cases of coronavirus in the camp and the refusal of some of them to enter 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.
