Three years after the migrant crisis began, refugees on the Greek island of Lesbos are facing worsening living conditions and growing frustrations from local people, the Euro News website reports today (September 19, 2018).

At the Moira refugee camp, life is getting harder for its 9,000 migrants who continue to face overcrowding and filthy living conditions.

Excessive rubbish on the streets and a shortage of showers and toilets are common.

Greek authorities are facing mounting pressures at home from locals who are split about their hospitality to host the growing number of migrants.
