Around 12 p.m. a major fire broke out in the Moria structure, with the result that the area was evacuated by the approximately 13,000 refugees and immigrants living there.
The entire part outside the KYT has been completely destroyed, while a large part of the inside of the KYT camp that continues to burn has also been destroyed. The information indicates that the administration and identification infrastructures were not burned, but the Asylum Service and its team were completely burned. In addition, there was damage in the area of the Intensive Care Unit and the Intensive Care Unit and in the air conditioning of the health unit that was done with a donation from the Dutch Government.
A large part of the population of Moria has fled to the neighboring farms, while another part has moved to the city of Mytilene where at the height of Kara Tepe, just before the PPC factory, a strong police force has lined up that does not allow them to enter the city.
The Lesbos Police sent reinforcements from Athens to deal with the problem that has been created. Specifically, at 7 am, three MAT squadrons left Elefsina with a C-130 military aircraft.
As it became known from the headquarters of EL.AS. There are already strong forces on the island, however all the foreigners who were in the KYT after the fires are concentrated outside the structure, where they are being held and looking for solutions for their housing.
It all started when refugees and migrants who had tested positive for the coronavirus or had been traced as contact cases refused to isolate themselves. Clashes broke out with other refugees and migrants who expelled them from the camp. This conflict at some point took on a tribal character with the result that fires broke out that soon took on dimensions due to the strong wind.
It is observed that, as reported, the Fire Brigades, who arrived at the camp to try, were attacked by groups of asylum seekers who impeded their work.
Shortly after 2:30 a.m., a large number of refugees and immigrants moved into the city, passing through the town of Moria.
At this time, the Fire Brigade is operating in the camp with the reinforcement of aerial resources, in order to completely extinguish the fire and then control the area.
The Secretary General for the Reception of Asylum Seekers of the Ministry of Immigration, Manos Logothetis, will travel to Lesbos.
As Mr. Logothetis states in APE-MPE, the disaster at Moria KYT “is quite total”. “By order of the Minister of Immigration, I am going to the island. Let us assess the situation. We must see, in cooperation with all stakeholders, what solutions we can offer for the temporary and long-term hospitality of the residents there. It is a first priority for all, ”he says.
