Overnight, the Greek authorities have decided to inflict DEATH on the residents of a camp on the island of Lesvos. Do you already have asylum or have just been officially denied it? You don’t get to eat. Get by on your own. No more basic bare necessities.

“The situation is dramatic. People are desperate,” says Katerina, who immediately decided to increase the capacity of the Home for All kitchen to feed the hungry. The situation is similar to the one we faced just after the Camp Moria fire. We need your help!

More than 500 people have become homeless overnight. They do not receive a single meal. They have nowhere to go, no jobs, no prospects. The safe place they found for themselves after months or years of wandering has again become a hell for them overnight. The focus is on those who are left with nothing, although those who get anything also need help. “Whatever,” which is the official daily ration, is as much as you see in the photo sent to us by a young woman from Lesbos.

It’s simple. They won’t eat a meal if we don’t give it to them. No one else will give it to them. Lesbos has already been forgotten by the whole world. We have not forgotten and we trust that you will come with us today to rescue those who have lost their basic rights not elsewhere, but in Europe. They include children, pregnant women and the sick. We ourselves can prepare meals for them for the next two or three days. We cannot feed them in the camp. We will do it outside. We need you to buy more time for them before the reasons for the cruel decisions are revealed and solutions are found for them. The intention seems to be to force people to leave. Where? No one knows.

The violation of human rights, international conventions and the provisions of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union have been talked about here for a long time. The New York Times has just revealed a report describing one event on the 11th of April this year, when 12 migrants, including men, women and children (one infant), were detained on Lesbos, locked in an unmarked van and taken to a port from which the coastguard transported them to the open sea. According to the account of the victims, with whom an American journalist spoke at a detention centre in Izmir, located on the Turkish coast, it appears that the border guards took all their belongings, placed them in a dinghy and abandoned them on the open sea. The account is corroborated by video footage, taken from a Greek beach, confirming the situation.

Let us not fool ourselves into thinking that this is for our own good, that someone is defending our space and future on our behalf. We will not defend it by doing harm to others. Today we are moving to the rescue of the people of the camp on Lesbos, who have been left without food overnight.

Please come to the rescue with us and fund at least one meal today!
