(Deutsche Welle) The first group of refugees from the razed Moria camp arrived in Germany from Greece on Wednesday.
A group of 139 people — unaccompanied children, children suffering from serious health problems and their immediate families — arrived in Hannover, in northern Germany.
At least 51 of the group came from the notorious Moria camp, with others coming from separate overcrowded island camps.
Alternate Greek Migration Minister Giorgos Koumoutsakos said it was the first resettlement flight after the country’s largest refugee camp burned down earlier this month.
The German government agreed to take up to 150 children after the squalid camp was destroyed. It came as part of a European pledge to take in 400 children.
