The Moria camp on the Aegean island of Lesvos housed more than 10,000 people before being deliberately destroyed by two fires in September 2020

The incident happened northeast of Lesvos

Parents in the village of Ippeio on the Aegean island of Lesvos are protesting the attendance of nine refugee children at the local school.

Friday was supposed to be the second day for the five boys and four girls from Afghanistan and Syria, who live in apartments provided by NGOs. 

Two civilian groups on the eastern Aegean islands of Lesvos and Chios have reiterated their opposition to the creation of new migrant facilities, saying they amount to nothing but "concentration camps" which are permanently altering the character of the islands.

The Greek government will move swiftly with a tender for the construction of a new up-to-standard center for the reception and identification of migrants on the eastern Aegean island of Lesvos, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Thursday.

One woman drowned off the Greek island of Lesvos and two others were rescued on Friday after they fell out of an overcrowded inflatable raft carrying dozens of migrants, Greece's coastguard said on Friday.

One woman died and another two were rescued from the sea off the eastern Greek island of Lesvos Friday, in an incident involving an inflatable dinghy carrying Somali migrants.

Greece's coast guard said 24 migrants who were located safe on shore early Friday told authorities that three women in their party had fallen into the sea as the boat approached Lesbos, and were still missing.

One of the 55 migrants who reached Lesvos by boat on Wednesday has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The migrants disembarked on the beach of Mystegnon, on the eastern coast of the island.

All new arrivals have been quarantined at the Kara Tepe camp.

The Greek Coast Guard rescued 36 migrants from a dinghy off the northwest coast of the island of Lesvos on Sunday.

The migrants - 16 men, 10 women (among them 2 pregnant) and 10 minors - from Iran and Afghanistan were transported to the port of Petra for a medical check, before being taken to the Megala Therma camp, northern Lesvos, where they will be quarantined.

The Regional Authority of the Northern Aegean said on Monday that it was taking legal action against a nongovernment organization called Moria Corona Awareness Team after it referred to "the Greek side of the island" of Lesvos in a post on its Facebook page last Thursday, thereby implying that there is a non-Greek side of the island.
