This is what winter in Greek refugee camps looks like.⁣

⁣These pictures were taken today in Eleonas camp. 400 people here sleep in flimsy unheated tents.

This situation is unacceptable. People must urgently be evacuated to safe suitable accommodation. Lives are at stake.

[PAFRAS @PAFRAS_Leeds]

Staggering.

[Moria White Helmets @MWHGreece]

Just now from camp. We wait another terrible cold and wet night. There is no electricity and several tents already collapsed

[PAFRAS @PAFRAS_Leeds]

Can you support our work this week? We're currently short on the following items. Any help would be appreciated!

You can drop off at the office between 9am-2pm on any day except Wednesday.

Wednesday you can drop off St. Aiden's Community Hall between 10am and 12pm.

[Moria White Helmets @MWHGreece]

Actually right now we are very sad and very angry!
now we find out that our area is NOT SAFE for living! All of us we are at risk of exposure from lead poisoning right now and all of the bad things it does not knowing what will be the result of it in the future.

Great News!

Madineh, 1yo, lives in Vathy camp #Samos. She recently spent days in the hospital & needs medicine for a skin disease.“I need to shower her often but it's very cold, we can't shower & sleep at night, we’re freezing” says her mother.#EU, @MigrationGREECE how do you sleep at night?

This is message from one of the asylum seekers in the Napier barracks.

Hundreds of people, many of whom are survivors of torture, trafficking & modern slavery are being forced to live in prison-like conditions in the Napier & Penally barracks. ⁣

Snow forecast this weekend - and as far as I understand- it is currently snowing on Lesvos. 7,000 people living in tents & heating doesn’t always work.

#EvacuateNow this is unacceptable! @ukhomeoffice what will you do to help?

[Mare Liberum e.V. i.A. @teammareliberum]

State of emergency in #Moria2: Most of the camp is flooded, tents have been torn apart by the storm. Many residents have been wet for days + their skin is dissolving. This weekend temperatures will drop below zero. This humanitarian disaster is politically wanted!

[Europe Must Act - Leeds @ActLeeds]

Detention centres in the UK are cruel and inhumane. Repeatedly we hear reports of overcrowding, violence and neglect...

@turleyplanning @turnertownsend @designedbyidea do you want this to be part of your legacy?

#CutTheCollaboration

[Europe Must Act - Leeds @ActLeeds]

Don’t work with the @ukhomeoffice and enable their hostile environment @turleyplanning @turnertownsend @designedbyidea
Your profit can’t be worth the human cost of detention!
