Large part of Samos hotspot destroyed in fire on Monday
A large part of the hotspot on Samos was destroyed late Monday when a fire broke out during clashes among asylum seekers of different nationalities.
The Fire Brigade put out the fire while thousands of asylum seekers were transferred to other open-air facilities inside and outside the town.
At a meeting held at the Samos town hall it was decided to ask the government to immediately decongest the island, where there are thousands of asylum seekers with nowhere to stay. The schools on Samos did not open on Tuesday, following a decision by the island's mayor.
As of Monday evening, there were approximately 5,700 individuals staying at the Samos hotspot, a facility originally designed to house up to 650 people.
