Knut Bry's images show Pikpa refugee camp in Mytilene, Lesvos when it was a thriving, safe space, a zone of compassion and solidarity for vulnerable refugees. In 2020, politicians bowed to local protests and closed it down 💔

Remember the #EU promises of 'a fresh new start on migration' after the fires in #Moria a year ago? Today, European & Greek leaders continue to shamelessly deny basic dignity to refugees searching for safety in #Europe , keeping them isolated in miserable camps.

Today, July 28th, 2021, marks the 70th anniversary of the 1951 Geneva Refugee Convention. While Europe celebrates the day, the EU continues to violate on the Aegean Islands the most fundamental principles of the Convention.

Another fire erupted today in #KaraTepe camp #Lesbos due to electrical misuse. No injuries reported. Such fires are not a surprise anymore. #EU , you said no more #Morias 6 months ago, but what we see is just more of the same. We repeat: No more camps!

#Greece : statement by RSA PRO ASYL and @msf raising concerns about vulnerable asylum-seekers being placed in the border procedure despite being survivors of violence rsaegean.org/en/rsa_msf_pro…

Strong winds again these days and rain in #Lesvos . More bad winter weather expected in the next days. The hell in #Moria2 continues. Which improvements do the GR authorities and the EU see exactly?? #EvacuateNow

BREAKING: We just reached an agreement in the European Parliament to set up a working group for a thorough inquiry of #Frontex . We will investigate all allegations on violations of fundamental rights and draft recommendations.
We need to hold Frontex accountable.

#Greece : We now know there is lead contamination at Lesbos Mavrovouni camp, but we don't know where & how bad it is because government does not make actual soil testing results public.

European Commission: release full info so people can protect themselves

Lead poisoning poses a real danger and the GR authorities and EU institutions must be held accountable. We need full answers and immediate action! Moria 2.0 is not a place to live for human beings! #evacuatenow #nomoremorias #Refugeesgr Ylva Johansson Ursula von der Leyen Margaritis Schinas

As migrants face another harsh winter in dire conditions on #Greek islands, relocation to other EU countries is not an option: it is a humanitarian imperative. People stranded at borders need concrete acts of solidarity by Member States. #EPlenary #MigrationEU #RelocateNow

'I have 1 minute to describe the freezing cold, filthiness, hunger and despair of thousands of people at to our borders.

They are victims of EU's deterrence policies.

Our legislation has values & rights, but the practice lacks solidarity!' Tineke Strik #MigrationEU #Eplenary

In #Greece more than 7000 people are facing a new cold winter trapped in miserable conditions in tents funded by the #EU in #Lesbos . Many more are living in subhuman conditions in #Samos reception center 👇 #nomoreMoria #MigrationEU #Eplenary 3/5

Much needed debate now in #EPlenary about the human rights violations at the #EU external borders. From #Greece to #Bosnia , ppl are exposed to freezing temperatures in inhumane conditions. This is a political choice. This must stop. #MigrationEU #NoMoreMorias

Auf #Lesbos hat es Schneeregen, für die Nacht sind Minusgrade vorhergesagt. Es ist saukalt, die Leute frieren und haben nichts zu heizen. 1/3

After almost 4 months, conditions in #Moria2 are still catastrophic and inhumane. This video deals with the hygienic conditions, the lack of sanitation facilities and sewage.

Please help spread the video and retweet it.

These are the stories of Audrey, Baimba & Hassan who—along with hundreds more—have received mental health support from IRC.

This is how #Greece and #EU care for people seeking safety in 2020
