Statement by UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore on the European Commission’s proposed Pact on Migration and Asylum
On September 9, 2020 a girl stands amid rubbles in the burnt camp of Moria on the island of Lesvos after a major fire broke out. Thousands of asylum seekers on the Greek island of Lesvos fled for their lives as a huge fire ripped through the camp of Moria, the country's largest migrant facility. Over 12,000 men, women and children ran in panic out of containers and tents and into adjoining olive groves and fields as the fire destroyed most of the overcrowded, squalid camp.
