Police block a road near Mytilene on Lesbos, where migrants are protesting.
Greek police have fired tear gas at migrants who threw stones during protests following the fire at the Moria migrant camp on the island of Lesbos.
The clash took place during a demonstration so that the many migrants who were left homeless after the fire earlier this week had a roof over their heads. So far, attempts to build a replacement camp have been blocked by local authorities, who do not want the migrants to remain on Lesbos.
On Friday, ten EU countries, led by Germany and France, promised to receive a total of around 400 homeless children from the camp. Sweden is not one of them.
Moria is one of dozens of refugee and migrant detention camps established in Greece after the 2015 crisis. The camp, which is overcrowded, has been criticized for years for its poor sanitary conditions.
