A major overnight fire swept through Greece's largest refugee camp, which had been placed under COVID-19 lockdown, burning through container housing and leaving more than 12,000 refugees Wednesday in emergency need of shelter on the island of Lesbos.

대형 화재가 코로나19 락다운에 들어갔던 그리스 최대규모의 난민캠프(그리스 레스보스 섬)를 밤사이에 휩쓸며, 컨테이너 집들을 불태웠고 1만2천명이 넘는 난민들이 레스보스 섬에서 갈 곳을 잃었다.

인구밀도가 높은 모리아 난민캠프의 난민들은 여러 지점에서 발생한 화재에서 벗어나 도망쳤다. 이 화재는 강풍에 의해 부채질되어 캠프의 많은 부분과 주변 산비탈 올리브 숲을 태웠다.
