Rejected petition The UK government to resettle refugees from the destroyed Moria refugee camp
Rejected on
On 9 September 2020, a huge fire destroyed the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos, leaving 15,000 refugees homeless and without food, water, sanitation and healthcare. Already before the fire, living conditions were inhumane, affecting refugee's mental and physical health.
Refugees are in urgent need of a safe place to live, especially for families with children. We ask the UK government to urgently resettle refugees from Moria in the UK.
