Childr­en make up third of 8,000-strong popula­tion of Moria migran­t camp on Greek island of Lesbos­MORIA, GREECE: Thousands of migrants packed into overcrowded camps on the Greek islands are bracing for winter in conditions that have already driven some there to attempt suicide. Jamal, a Somalian, arrived three weeks ago with his 21-year-old daughter, who is blind and suffers from debilitating hemiplegic migraines. Between them they have more than 20,000 refugees and migrants — 8,000 in Moria alone, which is only built to hold 3,000. In the meantime he has to make do with an overcrowded tent lined up, like hundreds of others, around the fence delineating the official Moria camp. But the poor conditions reported by MSF and 19 other aid agencies have not gone away, and the migrants stuck there grow increasingly impatient.
