People live in completely inhumane conditions, become ill from the circumstances, have horrible mental problems. “

Almost all residents of Moria are people who have fled war, in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan or DR Congo. “They made that flight to Greece, which is a hugely traumatizing experience, and are now stuck in Moria,” says Willemen. “That was a very explosive situation anyway. In addition, for five months there have been very strict restrictions on movement due to the corona virus. There has been a total quarantine for a week. have taken matters into their own hands. “
