While the rest of the island population is closing their shutters during the strong summer heat, tourists arrive on the island and the beaches become more crowded, the ~ 5.000 camp residents of #Moria2 are not allowed to walk outside the camp this Sunday. /1
While many have left the premises to the mainland over the last weeks, the asylum seekers from e.g. #Syria, #Afghanistan & #Somalia in camp there is a strong insecurity of what will happen next, as many face new asylum interviews solely asking about the conditions in #Turkey. /2
Background: On the 7 June, the Greek State designated #Turkey as a “safe 3rd country” for women, man & children of 5 nationalities seeking international protection in #Greece. This decision reinforces the how #EU shift responsibility to protect #refugees to third countries. /3

“People are in a state of survival inside #Moria2,” says doctor* on #Lesvos, “once they are actually arriving in a safe space, we see them collapse. This on-going humiliation in semi-closed, overheated, undignified living spaces with no escape are breaking people’s mind.” /1
“Some might thing, once with a positive asylum decision, camp residents just want to leave #Moria2 to find a future, a better job or place, but the truth is, that most just want to run away and leave this black hole behind. Run from the experience of being a #refugee.” /2
“We have to facilitate people to flourish. To use their potential. But instead we create prison-like structures, with no trees, no shade, no schools, no carpets or movie nights, nothing individual should remain, no traces should be left. The unspoken aim: Vanish.” /3

CN: Gewalt
“Es sind immer Männer mit schwarzen Masken. Manchmal haben sie Hunde. Es wirkt systematisch. Sie schlagen auf Schultern, damit man keinen Rucksack mehr tragen kann. Sie brechen Arme, doch nicht Beine, damit man noch 30km zurück laufen kann.“ #Pushbacks #Kroatien /1
„Sie machen Brillen und Kinderwägen kaputt,“ sagt Vater von 3 Kindern. Seit einem Jahr in Bosnien und Herzegowina. „Doch das schlimmste sind nicht die Schläge, es sind die Worte, die Menschen benutzen. Oft sagen sie auch, sie handeln im Auftrag von Deutschland und Frankreich.“ /2
„Wer sind diese Menschen?“ fragt er immer wieder. In einem Schwarzbuch der Push-Backs legte das Border Violence Monitoring Network (BVMN) der EU-Kommission im Dezember vergangenen Jahres 892 Zeugnisse von Geflüchteten vor, die über die exzessive Gewalt an der Grenze sprechen. /3

Kurzes Update zur Essenssituation im neuen Lager nach #Moria:
1) Es gibt nur 1x am Tag Essen: Zwischen 12:30 & 13:30 oder 13:00 und 14:00.
2) Wenn Essen aus ist, gibt es für viele nichts mehr & keine Alternative.
3) Keine Elektrizität, also müssen viele mit Feuer kochen. /1
4) Feuer war am Anfang aus verständlichen Sicherheitsgründen verboten. Danach merkte auch das Sicherheitspersonal, dass Menschen keine andere Möglichkeit haben zu kochen.
5) Viele kehren in verbranntest Camp tagsüber zurück, um Brot zu backen. Öfen wurden nicht zerstört. /2
6) Sonntags darf jedoch keiner das Lager verlassen, was es schwierig macht, an genug Essen oder Zubereitungsmöglichkeiten zu kommen.
7) Daher sind Montags die Straßen voll mit Menschen die Essen in Obstkartons hinter sich her ziehen. /3

Roads to the new camp in #Lesvos are blocked. People are still allowed in & out of the camp. Another transfer of around 600 recognized #refugeesgr from the island to the mainland is planned today. #Moria
People are being transferred into busses in the side entrance of the new camp. A military truck is taking some of their belongings. Many people have dressed in their best clothes. Children excited to leave. “Where are we going” one woman asks policeman, “Ella!” he replies. /2
“They scream at the people inside quarantine camp, stay away, like animals. All of us animals. It’s enough. We only have us left.”

Inside the camp people remain without water, the promised WiFi or electricity. People with disabilities are not given precedence in food line. /3

❗️Ein großes #Feuer ist in #Moria ausgebrochen. Die Situation ist laut CampbewohnerInnen vollkommen außer Kontrolle. Panik & alle Geflüchteten aus den Zelten um in Sicherheit zu gelangen. /1

#SOSMoria #Refugeesgr
Das Feuer breitet sich schnell aus. Auf Live-Videos von CambewohnerInnen sind Menschen zu sehen, die im Rauch kollabieren. Es gibt nur wenige andere Lichtquellen in den Olivenbaumfeldern rund um das alte Militärlager, was die Panik noch steigert. Feuerwehr vor Ort. . /2
Gefilmt von Geflüchteten in #Moria vor etwa 30 Minuten.

❗️Feuer breitet sich jetzt auch auf das Innere im Camp aus. Es hat seit Wochen nicht geregnet auf der Insel. Die Menschen versuchen in die Hügel hinter dem Camp zu fliehen.
