  • When we arrived in Lesbos in Greece we thought that we will be safe, but they put us in a camp together with many Muslim man. Some of them looked like ISIS with long beards, some were Afghan, some Pakistani and there were some Arabs too. We were scared and we said to the police that they should put us in a separate place. <br />
<br />
In Leros the Afghans and Pakistanis attacked us few times, and sometimes after their Friday prayers they were making gestures like they wanted to behead us.

  • On the 3rd of August 2014 at 2:30 at night I was chatting with a friend on Facebook. At some point he warned me that ISIS is heading towards my village. I replied that there is nothing to fear about, we are in our village, we are peaceful, we have no weapons. I thought that they will not harm us. <br />
<br />
Half an hour later I’ve heard the first gun shot. Most of my family were sleeping on the roof because it was a hot night. When I heard more gunshots I closed my laptop and I went upstairs to inform my father. <br />
<br />
That was at 3 o’clock. We waited for few hours and at 7 in the morning we left our village.

  • 14 month old Yazidi girl Asma Aisam Ismail outside the abandoned Lepida psychiatric hospital in whose grounds the Leros ‘Hot spot’ (an EU-run migrant’s reception centre) has been built. Her mother, Torko Haji Khalaf, 21, picks figs in the background. <br />
<br />
Originally constructed, in 1930 by fascist Italy, as barracks for Italian soldiers serving in the aeronautical base of Portolago, it was then, for a short period after WWII, a re-education camp for the children of Greek Communists. In 1958, it was converted into the biggest psychiatric hospital in the country. The conditions for the patients were horrific and it was shut down in the late 1980s and the patients moved into smaller buildings in the grounds and elsewhere on the island.

  • Thursday 10 September 2015 at 20:09 in the village of Mantamados, Lesbos island.  Aysha at the back of my car with her daughter Bisan sleeping in her arms. Aysha was the most vulnerable person of her group so I offered her a lift from the landing spot to the registration camp of Kara Tepe in Mytilini. The rest of her group had to walk to the village of Sikaminia and then either walk the 43 Kilometres to the camp or wait for hours for one of the buses run by MSF, and IRC to take them there.
