LORD DUBS urged the British government today to take in child refugees from Greece after a devastating fire ripped through Europe’s largest refugee camp. 

The Moria camp on the Greek island of Lesbos was destroyed after fires ripped through the sprawling network of tents, containers and makeshift structures on Tuesday and Wednesday night, leaving 13,000 people homeless. 

Most of the camp residents, including 4,000 children, are now sleeping on the street with little access to food and water.
