Additional Information / Shotlist SOUNDBITES
LUCA FONTANA, Lesvos Field Coordinator: We are witnessing people attempting suicide. That happens often.

This containment policy is affecting people’s mental health, people’s health and it is destroying their future.

This is Moria refugee camp
on Greece’s Lesvos island.

The people here have already fled
war and persecution.

Now they’re stuck in an overcrowded camp
in appalling conditions.

There are about 72 people per toilet,
and 84 people per shower.

*There's almost no access to healthcare here.*

SOUNDBITES LUCA FONTANA, Lesvos Field Coordinator: And people that have been living in such conditions for more than two years now. Can you imagine living in such a condition for more than two years? With your wife and children as well.

And because of the EU-Turkey deal,
residents have no idea when or how
they’ll get out of here.

SOUNDBITES LUCA FONTANA, Lesvos Field Coordinator: Tomorrow they can receive a paper saying, “You will be deported.” Or they can be put in detention without any explanation, without even a translator to explain to them what’s going on.

Why is Europe turning its back on these people?
