(17 Sep 2020) Volunteers from The Other Human social kitchen cooked meals for homeless migrants on Thursday amidst the burning rubble left after Moria's overcrowded migrant camp caught fire last week.
Some 2,000 foil containers filled with pasta-based soup were prepared for distribution to those who remained near Moria.
The notoriously squalid camp burned down last week, leaving more than 12,000 people in need of emergency shelter.
Thousands camped out on a roadside near a new army-built camp in the island's Kara Tepe area.
Early Thursday, police started an operation to move more migrants to the new facility.
New arrivals are tested for coronavirus, registered and assigned a tent.
By Thursday afternoon, Greece's migration minister said some 5,000 migrants have moved into the new facility.
Moria had a capacity of just over 2,700 people, but more than 12,500 people had been living in and around it when it burned down.
The camp and its squalid conditions were held up by critics as a symbol of Europe's failed migration policies.
The European Union is due to issue proposals to overhaul the bloc's migration policy next week in an effort to end years of division among member states.
As a frontier state, Greece is pressing for increased participation by other EU members in relocation schemes — unpopular with many central and East European countries — but has also suggested that alternative obligations may be assigned to countries wishing to opt-out of relocation.
