for the next 4 to 6. doctors without borders has warned refugees on the greek island of lesbos are adequate risk of growing a virus in each of the moved immediately in a statement the charity said the overcrowded horrific living conditions in the camps or hotspots on the greek islands for by the perfect storm for a covert 19 outbreak given the lack of adequate sanitation services and the severely limited medical care the risk of the virus spreading among the habitants of the camps in greece is extremely high once they have been exposed let's take a closer look at the situation in greece there are nearly 50000 refugees there the u.n. says more than 9000 asylum seekers arrived by land and sea this year alone many of them a flood warning instability from countries like syria afghanistan iraq and the democratic republic of congo lesbos island is the biggest entry point for migrants in the aegean with more than 20000 arriving there since 2016 support on why conditions are
2:18 pm
so bad on the island. like thousands of other asylum seekers this resident of moriah camp is lighting a fire to warm himself and cook lunch and like thousands of others he's using a piece of plastic to start it fires are the only source of heat in winter 8 groups say they cause serious respiratory problems and the burning of plastic makes them even more dangerous one of the asthmatic basins the father explained to me that one night he came back home they were heating the tent with the hold coals inside and when he arrived back none of his family members. were it was unable to wake them. and had to drive them outside they slowly recovered so most probably this was like a carbon monoxide poisoning it's easy to burn rubbish because it isn't being collected a local contractor is paid to pick it up inside the official camp and to a radius of 10 meters outside the camp fence but within that space we found this
2:19 pm
ravine filled with it greece's reception service is responsible for awarding sanitation contracts a former director says governments don't properly oversee contractors'. a great public worker who's moved from the mainland and works for 475 euros and sleeps in the same conditions as a refugee stands in stark contrast to an ingenious sanitation worker in athens who earns 1500 euros a month this inequality explains why the final result and sanitation isn't what would light. raw sewage also seeps into this ravine where children play because at 20000 people this camp is filled to 7 times capacity and its sewage pipe overflows a pipe designed years before it was built thanks clearly the delay in building the sewage pipe was to extend the use of the sewage trucks which cost huge amounts in
2:20 pm
my view over 4000000 euros and moria and the other islands that money could have been spent on sewage treatment plants they didn't happen why not because they were interests against it i've sent this to the list for prosecutor the government says it will take 10000 asylum seekers off the islands and ship them to the mainland in the coming weeks another $5000.00 will be offered a generous financial incentive to go home and the european union says it will take at least $1600.00 unaccompanied minors off greece's hands reducing the numbers might be a short term solution but it does not address the deeper problem of mismanagement relieve greek taxpayers of the bills the european union may refuse to pay as a result jobs are open loss al-jazeera less force. that are possible businesses director of medical operational support for m.s.f. grayson joins us via skype from athens we appreciate your time so much so even in the best of times it is very difficult to get people to focus on this issue and
2:21 pm
what it is these these camps are like but now with what this kind of virus pandemic one who are who is paying attention who is listening to how urgent it is to address this particularly with the fact that the world is dealing with a pandemic. well unfortunately this the political suffering for the last 4 years due to the virus go to your attorney statement so we have more than 41 lives children women and men in a place that has a capacity of 6105 people so these people yes they are living in an overcrowded situation for a living with not access to water and sanitation and just to give you an example in being more yeah there is one toilet for 167 people rush hour for 200 people and one what a voice for 1300 people so the lady in the call of international community is on
2:22 pm
board overcrowding they count in these articles in the news of overcrowding secondly if we're asking people to watch and hand there's not going to watch the hands and thirdly limiter has been the greek authorities have been taken so far are contributing to make these people more sick 1st of all there's a lot of down body people in the camps from 7 o'clock in the evening after 7 o'clock in the morning days movement of people are very restricted so that means that people are under stress and under fear of course this equation is being created not because of the got another virus i think even though late better a little late than never it seemed more than that measure put in place 1st moving out of this kind of the most one of the ones meaning the senior citizen and people with chronic medical condition 2nd trying to reduce the congestion and are all for medical care for people something that is not existing i think the goals of the european union the goal of international community it is possible to make them i
2:23 pm
mean situation is difficult for all of us but it's a situation that can be managed even today so let me ask you about that sam johnson was mentioning and his story where do things that are actually moving people and move them to where. well 1st of all people they can be moved even inside of the items in a safe i see it where the people can isolate themselves and in day care of their hygiene secondly they can be moved to the mainland and turned the in women to european union members so the way that all this is that that asian of moving 10000 people in 1600 men and women and children these are just wish list and a branch release so in reality if we want to move the people today we can move the european union is moving its own citizens from different cultures and interact weighting them and i think it is possible to outweigh children women and men who have been locked and condemned you know horrible conditions and they are not responsible for that responsible for the situation and it is the european union and
2:24 pm
