(AFP) When Amir Hussein was finally allowed to leave the horrific migrant camp of Moria on the Greek island of Lesbos, it was supposed to be the end of a year-long odyssey.
“After (experiencing) hell in Moria, we had not expected to find ourselves on the street in Athens,” says the 14-year-old Afghan boy, who has been sleeping on central Victoria Square for the past week.
Around 100 mostly Afghan refugees have been camping in the square in recent days under temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit).
Amir, his parents and two siblings, aged 2 and 7, were awarded asylum over a month ago, at which point they were allowed to leave Moria and sail to Athens.
