Thank you very much for joining us thousands of refugees are searching for shelter on the greek island of less bowls after being forced to spend the night out in the open fire swept through the biggest camp in europe are tuesday night ships are being sent in by the greek government to provide accommodation will be speaking to Al Jazeera John stop lists on less well site and in just a moment but 1st heres his report. This was one of europes largest refugee camps morea on the greek island of lesbos fires have torn through tents and dilapidated structures they were thought to have been deliberately lit by people fed up with that desperate existence compounded by corona fires they are out there. Today for parts but. There are. Hundreds of thousands of people became homeless once again precious family belongings hastily bundled together to form makeshift bedding there were no fatalities but these are lives thrust even deeper now into limbo is very very very unfair to very very different chord. Is very broad. Corporate board you know has come 3rd were told me one who is living here because this problem but if i may be dead now is you know the camp had housed more than 12000 people in cramped unsanitary conditions designed for a quarter of that number of conditions in which coronavirus could easily flourish we are extremely worried not only 4 to 40 percent children even muddier who are currently on the streets but in particular we need to think also more than 200. 00 people live in the camp who are at particular risk for it either because of their age or because of that would mean that if they get infected the will be much more sick than the rest of the population and so as far as we know right now those 200 are mixed in the big group of 30000 who are basically at loss in the streets in 20152016 hundreds of thousands of people risk to the mediterranean crossing in small boats from turkey to greek islands like lesbos they fled war persecution and poverty the European Union eventually closed its doors but the refugees kept coming many ending their journey here in moria camp a problem the greek government has long said it shouldnt have to. You dont. Believe a bad experience can quickly turn into an opportunity for a better reality and this will happen in less boss once the damage in maria has been assessed and in consultation with the European Commission who would take concrete initiatives a Party Remains the health and safety of. Migrants was nowhere else to go there was little to do but sit and wait. And john joins us now live from near camp. John tell us about the situation this morning. Im standing in front of a road block about a couple of kilometers from morea camp itself which is still called by police as it has only recently been closed house and there are says a flare ups of the fire this roadblock has been set up by the residents of Moriah Village who are trying to prevent the government machinery from building machinery us moving machinery from coming in as it apparently is scheduled to do today to start work on the camp this was not done on account of the fire this was planned beforehand because the camp was going to be expanded and converted into a secure facility according to the governments plans this fire came just before that work was about to begin now that the camp has evacuated and people have scattered far and wide the residents of the village are saying that they want things to remain that way they see the 1st opportunity in 8 years to be rid of these tens of thousands of refugees that have occasionally been here at the moment the numbers were told are close to 13000 and they are trying to make sure that the government doesnt bring these people back and reconstructs the site if i wont around you can see that there are plenty of people from morea village here standing behind me the cause go back dozens of young they are trying to bring me. People up from the village to show numbers and show strength many of the people weve been talking to here have had their livelihoods destroyed there all of those have been chopped down for firewood by the refugees theyve had. Wells filed by the sewage because the system that was built for the camps couldnt handle the numbers theres a lot of runoff weve seen this in previous visits here theyre very unhappy theyre economically desperate and they want the government to do something for them rather than for the refugees and but what about those refugees and migrants have been left homeless by the fires john what is going to be happening to that. We saw them last night around midnight sleeping on the streets along the main highway between mytilene the capital of lesbos and moria where the police have set up a road block to prevent them from. The highway is or was at least overnight strewn with people sleeping on the back concrete in the open many of them with small children we saw perambulations parts on the side of the road. They simply took what they could from the camp when the fires broke out on wednesday. On tuesday night rather and they they salvage what they could and they just made off for the hills many of them were told us leaping in these olive groves on the hills above us were going to talk to them shortly so they have not had a good time of it either and its hard to see how the government is going to settle so many thousands of them that have been left shelterless some homeless and feed them and provide for their sanitation their clothing when theres been such a huge disruption to the humanitarian machinery on the island theyre also meant years here some of them a volunteer organizations. But they cant possibly handle these sorts of numbers this is going to take a military operation we are told that 3 ships are on their way to house the cylons most Vulnerable People with small children but that will probably still leave some thousands on cared for and. There is a huge problem because the municipality doesnt have the real estate all the infrastructure to provide for them i think the army is going to have to come in and set up lots of tents and how long will that solution last because winter is coming in a couple of months weve seen these situations arise on the islands before where temporary shelter was provided but then that shelter couldnt be winterized and people suffered but here they will stay because were told that the government will not move them to the mainland it wants to keep them on the island and process the recycling applications. Ok thank you very much for that update John Psaropoulos live for us on this bus island not far from the morea refugee camp.
