❗️Thread: At 10am this morning one Syrian man was severely hurting himself in front gate of #Moriacamp — cutting with a knife in his wrists and chest. People were reporting that he tried to commit suicide. Police took him to medical station inside camp. /1 ⬇️
17,036 #refugeesgr are currently stuck in camp of #Moria, that is only made for 2,800 residents — while the rest of islanders are free to move, ppl have been left there in lock-town without sufficient medical care or legal assistance, no schools, no security. /2
The constant stress + structural violence creates a severe mental health crisis for all residents, even ppl who weren’t traumatized before, will be after one week here, residents report. Recognized refugees are fearing to be evicted in next week with no where to go to. /3
Through lock-down in the past months no real medical treatment could be given to people, leaving thousands in peril. No pharmacies inside the camp + only one military doctor at night. “Giving plasters at would a where it that should have been stitched,” Somali nurse says. /4
“One 30-yo man from Somalia has died two weeks ago, because he had two succeeded heart attacks,” says nurse from Somalia, “he wasn’t allowed out the camp to get his medicine in #Mytilini. He wasn’t treated, while his condition was known”. /5
“The same happens to people with severe disabilities”, she continues, “they have no one to turn to.”
“Everything hardens in isolation,” she says, “also the police is not hiding their feeling anymore. There is a strong verbal abuse constantly in the camp, everybody shouts.” /6
