At the beginning of September, the largest refugee camp Moria on the Greek island of Lesvos burned down. Conditions have been rapidly deteriorating in the new temporary Kara Tepe camp. Accommodated in tents only, thousands of people have to face another long winter on the island. The Covid-19 pandemic has not passed over the camps either. In these circumstances, the European Lawyers in Lesvos (ELIL) legal aid project (initiated by CCBE and DAV in 2016) is more important than ever - ensuring independent legal advice as part of humanitarian first aid remains a constant challenge. In a short video, the team gives an insight into their important work. Support ELIL with your Christmas donation and help to defend the rights of camp residents and strengthen access to justice.
