We call on the Greek authorities to investigate reports of hundreds of missing migrants on the island of Lesbos, Greece, and to end the arbitrary detention of unregistered new arrivals.
Closure of model camp on Greek islands amidst horrific living conditions is cause for concern
Format
Greece’s decision to close a good-practice refugee camp must be questioned. The shutting down of Kare Tepe, which functions as an alternative living space, is disappointing especially when the alternative is the unsafe and unsanitary living conditions in Mavrovouni (Moria 2.0).
Nearly 1000 people live in Kara Tepe, a camp with playgrounds, recreation areas for adults and community living conditions. The decision to close the camp was not accompanied by a communicated plan for its residents, some who have already been moved to Mavrovouni in recent days. These residents have been designated as particularly vulnerable – families, single mothers, people with physical health challenges and survivors of sexual abuse.
