On Tuesday 8 September, a huge fire engulfed Moria camp, Europe’s largest migrant camp on the island of Lesbos in Greece. It has completely destroyed the camp, leaving 12,000 people homeless. In addition, Covid-19 has been identified among the stranded asylum seekers.
Greece is a country in southeastern Europe with thousands of islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. Influential in ancient times, it's often called the cradle of Western civilization. Athens, its capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. Greece is also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos. ― Google
