--- Quote ---Thousands take to streets in Germany to demand EU action over Moria migrants

Thousands took to the streets of German cities on Sunday urging the European Union to take action on the asylum seekers left without shelter after the Moria camp blaze on the Greek island of Lesbos.

Some 12,700 people were left without shelter after a blaze last week destroyed the refugee camp in Moria on Lesbos. The camp had been built for just 3,000 people.

According to asylum seekers on the island, 9,000 have now been rehoused in a new temporary camp in which many feared would be stuck.

The fire is believed to have been started by migrants following a dispute with authorities over coronavirus restrictions in the camp.
