The Moria camp burned down last week in fires that Greek authorities said were deliberately set over lockdown restrictions imposed after a coronavirus outbreak.

Migration Minister Notis Mitarakis said an estimated 1,000 forever residents of the Moria camp were expected to relocate to the tent city by late Sunday and that getting everyone housed at the new site would take several days.

With the camp gutted, Saturday morning found men, women and children sleeping under improvised shelters made of reed stalks, blankets and salvaged tents.
