Germany to take in 1,500 migrants

-

Germany wants to take in about 1,500 migrants stranded on Greek islands after a fire destroyed an overcrowde­d camp.

Over 12,000 people, mostly asylum seekers from Afghanista­n, Africa and Syria, were left without shelter or access to food after a fire destroyed the Moria migrant camp on the island of Lesbos last week.

The German government said they would house migrants whose asylum applicatio­ns have already been accepted and had been on Lesbos.
