(AFP) A fire engulfed a refugee shelter on the island of Lesbos Saturday as Greece announced further restrictions towards asylum seekers in response to a migration surge enabled by Turkey.
The fire at One Happy Family, a Swiss-operated family care centre for refugees just outside the island capital, came after violence at the weekend directed at aid groups and journalists on Lesbos.
“The school building has a lot of damage, we can’t say more at the moment,” a source among the operators told AFP.
“The fire brigade is there, our team on the ground as well,” they added.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
