Those affected, among them many children\u00a0and at-risk groups,\u00a0must be carefully transferred to safety on the mainland.<\/p>\n

The transfer of\u00a0at-risk groups, including\u00a0unaccompanied\u00a0children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, people with medical and mental health conditions, and older people\u00a0should be prioritized.\u00a0People\u00a0who tested positive for\u00a0Covid-19 should\u00a0be\u00a0given\u00a0safe housing for the quarantine\u00a0period, healthcare,\u00a0and\u00a0hospitalization if necessary.<\/p>\n

Moving people from Lesvos to mainland Greece requires finding urgent solutions to address the fact that many current housing\u00a0facilities for refugees and asylum seekers are at full capacity. We urge the Greek authorities to work on a coherent plan that maximises all available resources including those from the EU and we renew our call to European leaders to share the responsibility for the reception and support of asylum seekers now more than ever.<\/p>\n

In these difficult times, it is of outmost importance that respect\u00a0for human rights is at the centre of the response to the fire at Moria, and that authorities do not resort to use of force or inflammatory language, but take appropriate steps to de-escalate any risk of violence.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n
