Refugees recovering from the severe cold in the camp
Refugees are recovering from the heavy winter conditions in Greece. They are trying to get back to normal life in the camp in Thessaloniki on 14 January 2017. After 6 days of subzero temperatures, today it is sunny and the temperature is about 5-6°C. They try to dry their clothes and houses, to repair the ceiling in the houses or tents as they had water leaking in their place. Children although are having fun as there is still melting snow. As they snow melts it seems dangerous for the children as the houses and tents didn't have eletricity, refugees did their own wiring with connections exposed and covered by the snow. The governemt brought also some contractors with workers to repair major problems in the houses and also cleaners. Many refugees are sick and they need proper healthcare. There is doctor in the camp, but not enough for so many people.Still there are problems as there is not running water.
