After the big fire in the Moria refugee camp on Lesvos, reporting has all but dried up. But how are the people there, how is the situation on the Greek islands? A helper reports.
The summer of 2020, the Moria refugee camp on the island of Lesvos is on fire. Large parts of the camp, which was quarantined because of Corona cases, are devastated, almost 13,000 people are made homeless. Since then: silence. There are hardly any reports about the camps anymore, as if the people there no longer existed.

Amira Erhardt has been working as a local volunteer since 2020 and is currently active on Samos for the Eurorelief organization. She says that there are now new camps in which people’s freedom is significantly restricted, for example there are exit restrictions, which would put additional psychological strain on many refugees. Especially since many have been accommodated in the camps for several years. Nevertheless, they have hope, the hope that it will continue at some point, and if not legally, then illegally.
New report on cases of abuse in the Catholic Church
The abuse scandals in the Catholic Church do not want to end. A new report now even burdens the former Pope Benedict XVI. He is said to have downplayed cases of abuse and made false statements about it.
The journalist Justus von Daniels, editor-in-chief of the Correctiv research network, and his colleagues have uncovered a case of abuse that is a central part of the new report. He says that the importance of this report should not be overestimated, because for the first time real responsibilities are named: who knew what and did nothing about it. Almost all church leaders of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising are charged. Now the church has to show whether it takes what happened seriously and whether it is still in a position to be credible. The Catholic Church has been losing members for years, and the report will probably only reinforce this trend.
