According to the UNHCR there are currently around 4400 asylum seekers on Lesvos. Even though every month more than one thousand people are transferred to the mainland, more people keep coming. The island has been the hub of the so-called “refugee crisis” for years now, and nothing indicates a change in this matter. Even though Lesvos is no longer in the center of media attention, the conditions in Mavrovouni camp are far from perfect and the dysfunctional asylum procedure shows more and more gaps.
In this episode of Fractured we dive deep into the situation on Lesvos with Silvia Lucibello from Europe_Cares who coordinates Parea Community Center, and Lorraine Leete from Legal Centre Lesvos.
