LESBOS ISLAND, GREECE - Police on the Greek island of Lesbos on Thursday launched an operation to rehouse thousands of migrants who have been sleeping rough after their camp was destroyed by fire, an AFP journalist said.
Women and children with bundles on their backs were seen gathering by a barricade police had set up on the road. Doctors Without Borders , which opened an emergency clinic in the area, was earlier barred from accessing its facility during the night, as rumours of the police operation spread, the group said. They were later allowed to reopen.
Thousands of the migrants have been sleeping under tarpaulins or tents at roadsides and in the car parks of closed supermarkets since the blaze.
