Moria Refugee Camp Fire Relief Fund

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, a fire broke out at Greece's largest refugee camp, Moria, on the island of Lesvos. By early morning, most of Moria "was a smouldering mass of burnt containers and tents".

The fire has destroyed the entire camp and displaced its 13,000 residents. Men, women, and children have gathered the few belongings they may have and are now preparing to survive without shelter and any other basic human needs which the camp authorities provided them with.  

The Greek government has placed the island of Lesvos in a state of emergency, allowing it to mobilize all forces to support the island and asylum seekers, a government official said.
