In the spring and alexander phenomenon who filed that report shes standing by near the site of the morea refugee camp on lesbos hello to you alexandra so weve heard its already been nearly 4 days since the fire destroyed the camp describe the situation there now. So at the moment its quite quiet here compared to yesterday people are getting ready for what is going to be another hot day here i cleaning their make shift a tense and actually i was struck by by that that they were able to put them up. So quickly while we are still waiting for the greek government to live up to its promise to provide housing for the refugees but of course the conditions here are grim sanitary conditions there is only little Running Water no toilets and people really think that they have been abandoned by by the European Union and they are getting increasingly frustrated as we saw in the reports we saw protestan yesterday and of course i can assume that we are going to see them protesting today again now xander out what have you been hearing from the local authorities what is their plan to provide food and shelter to the refugees how are they going to do all of that. Well what we saw here on the ground were mainly n. G. O. S distributing food and water but many refugees told us that they dont have enough food that they are hungry that they dont have enough water or really myself didnt see any local authorities here on the ground although we know that there are also distributing food they started as we saw in the reports setting up those tents if you kilometers away from from here the greek government has sent 3 ships to provide housing still to the people but its got out take a while and many of the refugees here told us that they just dont want to stay here they want to move on they want to leave the island because they dont believe that the greek authorities can really take care of that and if you are here on the ground you see that thats really the case well what about the greek local residents in the residents of lesbos themselves how are they reacting to whats going on. Well there are very upset and angry they say they dont want an ob or a camp to be built here they say they have been facing this situation for 5 years now and someone else needs to bird this barden a burden we ran actually yesterday into the local blockade everything was peaceful we could pass through this blockade but that can change any day if they.
