In the Moria camp, a refugee camp situated in Lesbos, there is a tragic situation: people stay around the rubbish, they are spread everywhere. 

The children who live there are traumatized after having fled from conflict in their home countries. They are about 3000, they are from Siria, Iraq and they arrive in dinghies from Turkish towns. 


They attempted to hang themselves from a pole or suicide. So the healthy service calls it a giant open-air mental asylum with dire sanitary conditions. We can understand this situation looking at a drawing, made by a child who attempted suicide, where eyes weep blood and the children’s body is floating among the waves.

The only moments of normalcy for Moria’s children get come when they play in an area founded by a Team Humanity, when they play at a small football pitch and when they can watch cartoons.

  2. This article show us how many time life can be really hard and that those who are not in these situation are really lucky. As Giorgia said, children in Moria camp live around the rubbish and they, because of their situation, often try to kill themselves. Giorgia said also that children have only a few moment of normalcy in wich they can do normal things as children. I think that it is a really bad thing because children should fully enjoy their childhood, not only few moments.
