After the fire in Moria, refugees were left with practically nothing. Many are sleeping on the streets. There are thousands of families who have been waiting for a new camp for days.<\/p>\n
Of these, there are about 4,000 children who, in their short lifetime, have not experienced a normal life, only misery.<\/p>\n
This is happening in 21st-century Europe.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe put our lives in danger to come here. We didn't know if we were going to live or die when we went into the sea. We thought we were going to die. We crossed the border. We had heard that there was respect for human rights here, but since we arrived, nobody has helped us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can see our situation. We don\u2019t have any place to \u2013 there isn\u2019t any toilet. There is not enough water, no food.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the UNHCR is setting up another refugee camp for the most vulnerable people.<\/p>\n
ASTRID CASTELEIN<\/strong> Medical attention is critical because the coronavirus pandemic threatens the health of all these people as well. If they are having trouble accessing food, it's easy to imagine that it's harder for them to obtain masks or maintain proper hygiene.<\/p>\n Pope Francis does not forget his visit to the now vanished Moria camp. That is why, when the fire broke out, he recalled that those who flee from war or hunger deserve a dignified hospitality.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS<\/strong> Some countries have responded to the humanitarian tragedy in Moria. Germany will take in 1,500 of these refugees. The rest of Europe, for the moment, has turned its back on Greece, which is hosting these thousands of human beings in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 18, 2020.
