코로나19 난리 통에 그리스 최대 난민캠프 전소<br /><br />It's time now for our Thursday edition of Arirang's 'The World Now'. I'm Kim Jae-hee.<br />We begin with devastating fires that have ravaged Greece's largest migrant camp.<br />Fires broke out suddenly at the overcrowded migrant camp on a Greek island on Wednesday, leaving thousands of migrants and refugees in need of emergency shelter.<br />"Thousands of people have been displaced over the night, they are still scattered in places where we cannot reach them."<br />Greek authorities said that the fires were started by camp residents angered by isolation orders, which were imposed after 35 people tested positive for COVID-19 at the camp.<br />"The real series of events is still being investigated. What is certain is that the fire was started, because of the quarantine, by asylum seekers in the facility."<br />He also said there has been no report of injuries due to the fire.<br />However, the fires had destroyed the camp and left its residents homeless.<br />A four-day state of emergency has been declared on the Greek island starting from Wednesday.<br />More than 12-thousand people were living in and around the camp, which is far above its maximum capacity of less than three-thousand people.<br />
