New Temporary Refugee Camp In Lesbos Island

A police vehicle outside of the New Temporary Refugee Camp in Kara Tepe - Mavrovouni with large white tents having the UNHCR or UNICEF logo and asylum seekers waiting in line for registering and supplies such as food, beds, clothes etc as seen from the main guarded entrance. The new fenced camp is a former military area, shooting range of the Hellenic Army, near Mytilene city in Lesbos island Greece. The new camp was created after the fire of September 9, 2020 when one of the largest refugee camp in Europe, Moria refugee camp ( reception, Identification and registration center ) was burned. All the residents, the asylum seekers inside the camp have been tested for the Covid-19 Coronavirus virus and those who are positive are living in two designated quarantine areas protected by a barbed-wire fence. Until now 242 people, migrants and refugees in the camp are tested positive cases. Kara Tepes, Lesbos Island, Greece on September 2020 (Photo by Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto)
