Overcrowded Lesvos migrant camp slowly releasing immigrants

One hundred asylum seekers have left the overcrowded Moria migration camp on the island of Lesvos and are heading for the mainland city of Kavala.

The asylum seekers will be relocated in anew migration centre set up on the mainland, in the Volvi area in Thessaloniki, with a capacity to house about 1,200 people. Similar departures of up to 400 people at a time will take place over the coming week, on ferry boats heading to either Piraeus or Kavala, with the Volvi camp in Thessaloniki or the Katsika camp in the region of Ioannina as their final destination.

According to government sources, another 1,000 asylum seekers will depart in October to a third structure that will operate in the Preveza region.
