ATHENS (Reuters) – A fire broke out near a migrant camp on the northeastern Aegean island of Samos, burning grass and forest, fire brigade and police officials said on Tuesday.
The migrant camp facilities were not at risk, a police official said. The cause of the fire was still unclear.
A fire burned Greece’s largest refugee camp on the island of Lesbos to the ground last week, forcing more than 12,000 people to the streets and bringing the long-running migrant crisis on Europe’s border back up the political agenda.
