aritas Europa is alarmed and saddened by the humanitarian disaster that is unfolding after several fires destroyed nearly the entirety of the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos during the night of September 8th. More than 12,000 residents had already been residing in the camp - at four times its capacity - in wretched conditions for months, sometimes extending even years while waiting for their asylum applications to be processed.
