They could be your mother, your father, your grandparents.

They deserve the same protection we afford to our loved ones.

But it's hard to find protection in a refugee camp.

We’re told to wash our hands frequently,

but in Moria camp,

there is one tap for 1,300 people in one of the sections.

We’re told to self-isolate but how do you self-isolate

when you're stuck in a tent full of all of your family.

We are told to call the doctors if we have symptoms of the virus,

but in Vathy camp, there is nearly 8,000 people and only two (MoH) doctors.

We’re told to keep social distance but how is that possible

when the only way to get food is to be cramped with thousands

of people waiting in food line.

Restriction of movement for these people

doesn't mean being safe in a comfortable home.

It means being stuck in a hellish nightmare.

Camps like these provide the perfect place for diseases such as coronavirus

to outbreak and spread.

What has to happen urgently is the transfer of all high-risk camp residents
– meaning the elderly and those with chronic diseases – to places where
preventive measures can be put in place for them.

We call on the Greek government to act now to prevent the lives of these
people being put at risk.
