Cast Adrift in Leros

Abandoned plastic pre-fab huts in the former refugee camp in the port of Lakki. In the background the old Italian navy barracks.

The camp was opened by volunteers in the summer of 2015 and later that year UNHCR and MSF expanded it and provided additional tents, toilets and other facilities. The camp was closed soon after the opening of a 'Hotspot' (EU-run migrant's reception centres) camp in Lepida in February 2016.
