The Refugee Camp Moria on Lesbos

An Afghan family waits for registration in the Refugee Camp Moria / January 12, 2016 Refugees, who succeed to cross the maritime border between Turkey and Greece are being brought to the Moria Camp near the city of Mitylene, where the European border agency Frontex identify and screen them. Moria reminds us of a war zone. People are queuing, often for many days. They lie in the mud and sleep in tents because there is not enough space. Human rights activists call the camp “Europe's shame”. Moria is a camp of two halves. Inside in the refugee detention centre Syrian families are housed in the blocks. Outside there is the so called Afghan Hill, where everyone else fends for themselves. It’s a steep rocky patch of earth where donated tents provide the only shelter for men, women and children.
