Please pray for the thousands of migrants on Lesvos in need of basic humanitarian aid, many of whom lost important immigration paperwork in the fires in Moria camp, and continue to be held in limbo by violent immigration policies. 

After fires destroyed the five-year crime that was Moria camp, the Greek government has responded with violence and repression. Currently, 10,000 people are crammed into a temporary camp designed to host a fraction of this population, with all signs pointing to this being a closed camp. We hope the 10,000 find the strength to resist the repressive measures of the Greek state and to endure the harsh winter around the corner.
