Greece / Moria

Moria, the camp on the Greek island of Lesbos, home to 23,000 refugees in 2018. In a camp that was meant for three thousand people. People crammed between garbage and dirt, living in tents, barely fed, with hardly any medical care.

A symbol of the failure of the European Union. Human rights are suspended, the humanistic principle that all people are equal is kicked to the curb in the camps, the legal right to asylum is treated with total randomness.

We have done and are doing what we can. We have identified people on the ground with the right to family reunification, had seven apartments in Athens where people could and can live until Germany finally allows them to travel to their parents or spouses.
