A population of 7,500+, including 2,000+ children, is currently living in a space for 3,100 living in appalling and inhumane conditions in Moria hotspot, on the Greek island of Lesvos. Among these people, children are among the most vulnerable.

Between February and June this year, in a group mental health activity for children (between 6-18 years), MSF teams observed that nearly a quarter of the children (18 of our 74) had self-harmed, attempted suicide or had thought about committing suicide.

On International Children’s Day, we want to draw attention to the deteriorating mental health of children who are stuck, indefinitely, in Moria.
