12:06 pm
a distant dream. that report from oliver salih who has returned from less votes and joins us here in our studio thank you all for we saw that you filmed secretly inside that camp tell us more about what you saw and experienced there well first of all this refugee camp was initially set up for two and a half thousand people only in all there are more than six thousand migrants living inside that camp and you have to imagine this feels like being in a small town almost in spite of that area being quite small it takes you maybe only five minutes to walk through there but six thousand people that means this is the size of a small town with people trying to follow their daily routines there even cooking their own open fireplaces they're trying to you know to sleep to have to have lunch breakfast and dinner and certainly they also need senate terry facilities but for some reason the garbage is not really put away the containers that exist there are completely overcrowded and you've seen the images of the of the senate terry
12:07 pm
conditions of the of the toilets in there where they didn't even have running water for that reason they brought their own water bottles you know to wash their hands and so on and so forth so i really terrible hygiene conditions worse then than i've ever seen them in any refugee camp before and what's particularly interesting is that this is an officially run camp we're not talking about a makeshift camp we've seen all these muddy sites there at the greek message water one or two years ago and that's understandable that the conditions there are bad but this is an officially run camp as you said it's amazing that disease hasn't spread more widespread than it has already you also showed in your report that there is a lot of potential for. with the local community there struggling as well that's right yeah we've just met stimulus cofield us in that report a person who was you know cultivating all of trees there and he was actually owning the parcel right next to all the lands right next to the refugee camp where people
12:08 pm
would come because they don't have electricity because they don't have heating see installed in every of the containers they live in so they try to you know steal all of the trees burn them use them for for doing a camp fire and so on and so forth but in addition to that he's also a shepherd and he told us that forty of his sheep were killed in recent weeks and even found what he things is is proof for that being carried out by refugees a backpack of the u.n.h.c.r. and a knife and they're grilling him barbecuing this these sheep they're on his all of groves so a lot of frustration there understandably but at the same time you have to see that we followed our protagonist for dinner and he only gets you know a slice of bread and a small piece of cheese so they go to bed hungry they're even fights over food in that camp and understandably again that they tried to solve the problem somehow and
12:09 pm
some even stealing his sheep as a result of that dire conditions as you're saying and you mentioned that you were in the greek macedonian border two years ago it seems not much has changed well it has changed for north and europe of course because all we what we can see there on the greek islands is a result of the e.u. turkey deal that means that migrants coming to the islands of greece are contained there and they can only move forward once their request for asylum is being processed as a result of that here north and europe the numbers of migrants have reduced significantly but at the same time at least this is how they help the people there feel their islands are sacrificed in less because we have every tenth inhabitant of that island being a migrant now and the local community is really struggling and the migrants as well . with that exclusive report there from last post thank you all of a very much. now to some other stories making headlines around the world austria's new government has been sworn in thirty one year old sebastian cortes is
