Nach mehreren Stunden ist klar, dass das Feuer in #Moria das gesamte Lager zerstört hat. Tausende Menschen sind noch in der Nacht in die Hügel geflohen oder irrten auf den Strassen umher. Trotz Polizeiblockaden an Zufahrtstrasse schafften es einige nach #Mytilini. /1
Laut lokaler Berichte, konnte Feuerwehr durch einzelne Explosionen im Camp nicht schnell vorrücken. Ins. sind die örtlichen Strukturen nicht ausgestattet, um auf eine Katastrophe in einem solchen Ausmass zu reagieren. Rauch und einzelne kleine Feuerquellen noch immer überall. /2
❗️Thread: At 10am this morning one Syrian man was severely hurting himself in front gate of #Moriacamp — cutting with a knife in his wrists and chest. People were reporting that he tried to commit suicide. Police took him to medical station inside camp. /1 ⬇️
17,036 #refugeesgr are currently stuck in camp of #Moria, that is only made for 2,800 residents — while the rest of islanders are free to move, ppl have been left there in lock-town without sufficient medical care or legal assistance, no schools, no security. /2
The constant stress + structural violence creates a severe mental health crisis for all residents, even ppl who weren’t traumatized before, will be after one week here, residents report. Recognized refugees are fearing to be evicted in next week with no where to go to. /3
❗️The Asylum office was closed for 2 months on #Lesvos — with its first day on 18th May it issued 1,4000 rejection decisions to applicants of international protection. #refugeesgr have now 10 days to appeal, but no legal aid for drafting relevant case file. /1
Police has imposed fines of 150€ on inhabitants of #Moria who went to #Mytilini to turn to free legal aid organizations after they received the news. /2
This means an asylum seeker gets a rejection on his/her request. He/she is not allowed to leave the camp because of #Covid_19 movement restrictions for #refugeesgr in camps. He/she has only 10 days to appeal, wants to seek help from a lawyer, but all she gets is a 150€ fine. /3
