The situation on the island continues to be deplorable after the two new fronts of fire, in places that had not been burned by yesterday’s catastrophic fire.
Refugees and immigrants living in the specific sections left their tents and joined the thousands of homeless people who have been on the Mytilene – Panagiouda road since yesterday.
Refugees trying to find shelter tried to head to the Kara Tepe camp, but the MAT forces did not allow them to be near the entrance to the city.
The two fronts broke out in front of the KYT, in the southern and eastern part of Moria, which had not burned yesterday. At this point, earlier, the Minister of Immigration and Asylum had announced that more tents would be set up to house those on the road from yesterday’s incidents.
A member of Médecins Sans Frontières with the fire burning behind him: “We are in the Doctors Without Borders clinic and it happens again. Two big fires. One on the right and one in section 9 that is out of control. After the fire yesterday, some returned today, but now the camp is being evacuated again, the place is not safe. People must leave immediately. Safe evacuation, relocation in the interior or in other European countries. That’s enough”.
However, the news that far-right groups have appeared in Mytilene patrolling the city, where of course there are no refugees, has caused concern.
Neighbors protests, “no” from the Local Government
Tension is great on the island after the latest events, while both the local government and neighbors and businessmen express their opposition to the possibility of resettling refugees in Moria or their transfer to other parts of the island.
The governor of the North Aegean, Costas Moutzouris, issued a statement on Wednesday afternoon vetoing new structures on Lesbos, while a little later the mayor of Mytilene answered negatively in government proposals.
