o casualties were reported but tents at the Moria camp were "almost entirely destroyed" and containers that provide additional accommodation and health and registration services were damaged, a police source in Athens told AFP.

Firefighters were prevented from tackling the fire early on by clashes that broke out among rival nationalities in the camp, reports said.

"Between 3,000 and 4,000 migrants fled the camp of Moria," to the surrounding fields, with strong winds fanning the flames also hampering firefighters, the police source said.

Outfit a fleet of ROROs will bunk beds and start packing em in. Drop them off back at home.

Search and seize any ship suspected of smuggling them in. If found, transfer to another ship and scuttle the offending vessel. That stuff will stop.

“... containers that provide additional accommodation ...”

Sounds like a missed opportunity to repatriate some of them.
