Migrants left facing extreme weather after camp burns down

Migrants left facing extreme weather after camp burns down share Hundreds of migrants started moving into heated tents on Friday after being left stranded in freezing temperatures when the migrant camp in Lipa was closed then mostly destroyed by a fire last month.    The Lipa camp was originally built as temporary shelter for migrants in Bosnia many of whom are seeking passage to the European Union.   “This camp was built earlier this year in response to over-crowding and unsuitable conditions elsewhere,” said Peter Van der Auweraert, International Organization for Migration’s Chief of Mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina. “For several reasons, mostly political, it never got connected to the main water or electricity supply, and was never winterized. And now, with this fire, it never will be.”
