Ein Team von Ärzte ohne Grenzen, fand am Donnerstag vergangene Woche, 3 geflüchtete Menschen nach der Ankunft auf #Lesbos in Handschellen in den Hügeln. Vier waren verletzt. Sie berichteten, nach ihrer Ankunft von Grenzschützern geschlagen + in Handschellen gelegt worden zu sein.
"Wir konnten sehen, dass sich die Menschen in einem kritischen Zustand befanden", sagte @MSF Einsatzleiterin Teo Di Piazza auf #Lesbos. "Laut Zeugenaussagen näherten sich kurz vor unserem Eintreffen sieben oder acht Personen der Gruppe und behaupteten, sie seien Ärzte (…)“ /2
„…und hätten Essen", sagt Di Piazza. "Berichten zufolge begannen sie, sie zu schlagen und ihnen Handschellen anzulegen, sobald sie sie fanden. Und als sie uns hörten, so die Gruppe, seien die anderen sofort weggelaufen." /3

Trotz “Hilfe vor Ort” und EU-Geldern in Millionenhöhe sind die Umstände in den griechischen Zeltlagern katastrophal. #WirHabenPlatz

Anstatt nachhaltige Unterstützung für Schutzsuchende zu finanzieren, wollen Entscheidungsträger_innen jetzt weitere Lager errichten. Das ist völlig untragbar! #KaraTepe #Moria #Lesbos
Österreich muss helfen, aber @sebastiankurz weigert sich seit Monaten, zu handeln. Schon über 40.000 Menschen haben sich deshalb unserem Appell an Bundeskanzler Kurz angeschlossen und fordern die Aufnahme von Geflüchteten aus #Lesbos.

#ZIB2 am 16.12.2020 zum Thema Aufnahme von Kindern aus #Moria:
Dezember 2020: Nach Brand im überfüllten Lager #Moria leben 1000e notleidende Schutzsuchende im Dreck auf #Lesbos. Ruf der #Zivilgesellschaft, zumindest Kinder aufzunehmen, wird laut.
#ÖVP blockt ab. Instrumentalisiert @SOSKinderdorfAT. Täuscht #HilfeVorOrt vor. Und: Lügt.
#ÖVP blockt ab. Instrumentalisiert @SOSKinderdorfAT. Täuscht #HilfeVorOrt vor. Und: Lügt.
Druck ist groß: A bissal humanitär sein, es steht doch das #Weihnachtsfest vor der Tür! #ÖVP bleibt stur. Damit Stimmung in Bevölkerung nicht kippt wird auf "Aufnahmen" in der Vergangenheit verwiesen. #Blümel, #Nehammer und #Raab rücken aus.
Auf #Lesbos hat es Schneeregen, für die Nacht sind Minusgrade vorhergesagt. Es ist saukalt, die Leute frieren und haben nichts zu heizen. 1/3
Das Wetter ist so schlecht und bedrohlich, dass der Bürgermeister von Mytilini gestern Hallen am Hafen für obdachlose Griech:innen geöffnet hat. Derweil ist das Flüchtlingslager #Karatepe weiter im lockdown. Die Sommerzelte (etwa 50% aller Zelte) sind komplett durchnässt.
Es sei die "komplette Hölle", wird uns gesagt. Die nächsten Tage soll es kalt bleiben. Weil das Camp keine eigenen Generatoren hat und der reguläre Strom nicht reicht, was seit langem klar ist, können 800 Heizgeräte nicht betrieben werden.

Update: Since a few days there are some showers with warm water. Showers can be taken for only a few minutes once a week. But that does not mean that there are humane conditions now. We will open an extra thread tomorrow to explain the shower system.

Was sich hier auf Twitter gerade in Sachen #Lesbos #KaraTepe tut berührt mich sehr! Ich danke Euch allen von Herzen, dass Ihr in der Praxis ans Licht bringt, dass wir Österreicher*innen sehr wohl aus tiefstem Herzen wünschen, dass diese unerträgliche Misshandlung von Menschen
SOFORT endet! Es schüttet hier in Strömen, Eltern sind total verzweifelt, weil Wasser in ihr Zelt dringt, Kinder nachts aus Angst und Hunger weinen. Auch die jungen Menschen, die uns bei unserer täglichen Arbeit im Camp helfen, alle sind am Rande ihres Fassungsvermögens.
Ich verstehe alle, die nicht hier sind, waren, dass die Realität hier extrem schwer nachzuvollziehen ist. Auch ich stehe gewissermaßen unter Schock, dass in #Europa solch ein Lager, solch eine verordnete Grausamkeit existieren darf. Es klingt ev theatralisch, doch was sich hier
On November 29, Greek authorities removed 18 asylum seekers who had managed to reach #Lesbos, put them on a life raft and then left them adrift in the Aegean, despite increased EU scrutiny over #pushbacks, a new @derspiegel investigation reveals 1/ spiegel.de/politik/auslan…
2/ One of them is Angela, 28, from Burundi. On the 29th, she met and was photographed (left pic) by a Greek university professor walking with his wife in Lesbos. She is now in Izmir (middle and right pics with a newspaper showing the date) where we interviewed her
3/ Based on interviews with some of the asylum seekers, audiovisual material captured by hidden phones by migrants, shared with us by Norwegian NGO @ABR and verified by our researchers, and eye-witness accounts, we reconstructed how the operation took place
! Two months ago Greek police triumphantly announced they had busted a "criminal ring" of NGOs, accusing helpers as “spies” and “migrant smugglers” in #Lesbos. Is it so or just a convenient crackdown to silence voices defending human rights? Thread: 1/

"Safe zones" are separated areas inside refugee facilities, where minors without relatives live under supervision for their safety.
This logbook reveals an environment where the danger of electrocution is not only real, but far from the only concern.

The coronavirus continues to spread in the transitional camp for refugees on the Greek island of Lesbos. There are 243 confirmed cases among 7,000 previously tested residents of the camp,
said the state health agency Eody. 120 police officers and 40 camp employees tested negative. After the Moria refugee camp was destroyed by a fire, the camp was hastily built to accommodate the approximately 12,000 residents who had to sleep on the street or
in fields after the fire on September 8th. The camp stands on an unused military training area, a few kilometers from the destroyed Camp Moria. According to the authorities, all residents will be tested for corona infection when they move into the camp.

Almost half of the around 13,000 residents of the burned down refugee camp Moria on the Greek island of Lesbos have now been housed in the hastily built interim camp. 6000 people have now entered the camp,
said a spokesman for the Greek Ministry of Migration. According to this, 157 of them tested positive for the novel corona virus. After the fires in the Moria camp last week,
thousands of refugees on Lesvos slept by the roadside and in supermarket places under makeshift canopies made of branches or in camping tents. The Greek authorities started building a new camp on Saturday with UN support.

Greek security forces arrested five suspected arsonists who reportedly set fire to the Moria registry camp last week. This was announced by the Greek Minister for Civil Protection, Michalis Chrysochoidis.
"The arsonists have been arrested. They are young migrants. Another one is still wanted," he said on the state radio (ERT). From police circles it was said that the five alleged arsonists were Afghans whose asylum applications had been rejected.
The Moria camp was almost completely destroyed in several simultaneous fires. More than 12,500 migrants remained homeless. To accommodate these people, Athens has set up a tent camp not far from the old one in Moria.
