Subzero snow conditions in Vagiohori camp, unbeatable conditions for refugees. Greece

Snow, wind and temperatures below -10°C in Vagiohori refugee camp. This camp has refugees living in tents made for summer conditions. There isn't electricity, heat or even beds inside the tents. The government supported by UNHCR decided to move the refugees to a hotel for 14 days but some of them left behind as they don't trust the government's will. They believe they will be deported.
