13,000 Asylum Seekers Left Homeless in Greece After Fires Engulfed Refugee Camp
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Greece, officials are sending at least three ships to aid some 13,000
people who have been left homeless after a blaze completely incinerated
the Moria refugee camp in the isles of Lesbos earlier this week. A
series of small fires were reportedly lit by refugee youth as a form of
protest after the only ATM machine available on site - which the entire
refugee camp was dependent on for money - was blocked amid COVID-19
restrictions, leaving them unable to buy food and hygienic supplies.
