Refugees stuck in Moria 2 camp eke out their lives in floods and sludge
A flooded refugee tent in the Kara Tepe / Moria 2 camp on Lesbos, Greece

PEOPLE stuck inside a refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos are facing a deluge of water and mud.

Heavy rainfall at the weekend caused some of the tents and roads inside the Kara Tepe refugee camp to overflow with water, leaving those stuck inside to eke out their existence in ankle-deep waters and sludge.

After the overcrowded Moria refugee camp on Lesbos burnt down in September, forcing thousands of refugees to live on the streets, the Kara Tepe camp was hastily constructed right beside the sea on an old military firing range.
