Greece plans to install a 'floating fence' in the sea to stop migrants reaching its islands from the nearby coast of Turkey. The 'floating fence' will be installed to prevent migrants such as these crossing the sea from Turkey. The largest camp of Moria on Lesbos island, with a capacity for 2,840 people, hosts more than 19,000 asylum seekers. Two young asylum-seekers have been fatally stabbed in brawls at the Moria camp this month. But the new camp plans have been strongly opposed by local officials, who want smaller facilities after hosting thousands of asylum seekers for the past five years.
