lesbos

More than 12,000 refugees were displaced this week after multiple fires destroyed a camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. Authorities are constructing a new camp nearby.

Europe's largest refugee camp, on the Greek island of Lesbos, was built to hold 3,000 people. When fires struck this week, the settlement of 12,000 was largely destroyed.

A plume of smoke was visible not far from the Moria camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. The number of migrants and refugees arriving in Greece by sea has soared this year.
