At the moment, Lesvos Solidarity is undergoing serious financial difficulties. The team remains committed to keeping the community projects running. However, with limited resources there will likely be changes to the nature and scope of our work.
We are inviting you to take a moment and read our Annual Report with information and details on the actions and activities Lesvos Solidarity has undertaken in 2018.
On Friday afternoon 25 May 2018, intense fighting broke out at Moria camp, leaving many people injured. A group of around 70 refugees, including many families with young children and several injured people, fled the violence and found refuge in a park in Mytilini. Some injured people were transferred to the hospital by ambulance.
Refugees, Greek islanders and activists today called on European leaders to heed their plight in a flash mob on a beach on the island of Lesvos symbolising the spirit of “refugees welcome”, organized by Amnesty International and Lesvos Solidarity.
