Leros Refugee Camp in Greece

A girl in Leros Refugee Camp, Greece, on October 30, 2015. Refugee camp Leros, located on the Greek Island of Leros is a transit camp for refugees who have been picked up by the Greek military at the military base in Farmakonisi after leaving Turkey and becoming lost in the Aegean. The refugees who are transported from Farmakonisi spend one night on the military base and are transferred by boat to Leros Camp. In Leros they are processed within two working days with documents to go Athens. The refugees live in an abandoned building and outside of the building premises while waiting. The conditions are challenging in this very old abandoned building with broken windows, a leaky roof and no sanitation facilities indoors. Most of those being processed at the refugee camp are from Syria and Iraq. (Photo by Gail Orenstein/NurPhoto)
