Migrants Enter New Refugee Camp In Greece

Families of migrants from Afghanistan are seen waiting in line, getting registered, having a Coronavirus Covid-19 rapid test and entering the new refugee camp in Lesbos island, Greece after the big fire that destroyed completely Moria Camp, First Reception and Registration Refugee Camp on the island. The new camp near the island's capital Mytilene at Mavrovouni or Kara Tepe is a former military shooting practicing range but migrants are skeptical to enter as it is a closed facility for the moment that will not allow them to wander freely around, despite the fact that food, tents, toilets and medicines are provided to people, asylum seekers prefer to sleep roadside hoping for their transfer to other European Countries.
