Asylum seekers are protesting against harsh living conditions at Moria refugee camp, in the Greek island of Lesbos. The demonstrations sparked after the death of a woman in a fire last 29 September. Protesters held banners saying “Moria is Hell” and “We want security and freedom” during the rallies. In August, a teenager was killed in a fight and a child was run over by a truck. Over 12,000 Afghans, Syrians and Iraqis live in Moria, which is only prepared to host 3,000 people, leading to a serious overcrowding that affects asylum seekers’ safety, particularly women and children. Following the incident, UNHCR issued a communiqué asking Greek authorities to move people from this overcrowded facilities. The UNHCR Spokesperson Liz Throssell declared that “keeping people on the islands in these inadequate and insecure conditions is inhumane and must come to an end”. The UN agency also called on the EU to continue supporting Greece in this humanitarian crisis. More than 10,000 asylum seekers have crossed from Turkey to Greece by sea over the last month. Greece has already received 45,000 out the 77,400 registered arrivals in the Mediterranean during 2019.
