Unrest in the refugees camp of Moria on Lesvos island

epa05548945 Burnt tents following clashes between groups of refugees and migrants of different nationalities at the camp of Moria on Lesvos (Lesbos) island, Greece, 20 September 2016. Migrants set fire to several parts of the camp which then spread causing hundreds of people to flee. Authorities evacuated the area where unaccompanied minors were living and transferred them to a new facility. Earlier today, rumours that mass returns to Turkey were imminent prompted renewed incidents and a break-out from the hotspot who attempted to set off on a protest march to Mytilene, the island’s main town, but were stopped and forced to turn back by police.
