脠iginn air Eilean Lesbos
Air Eilean Lesbos sa Ghr猫ig tha staing an luchd-imrich a' dol am miosad. Tha mu 20,000 f貌garrach agus luchd-imrich ann am f矛or dhroch shuidheachadh; bidh m貌ran ga ghairm mar聽"ifrinn". Mar a tha Andreas Wolff ag aithris, tha m貌ran theaghlaichean le clann bheaga be貌 taobh a-muigh a' champa oifigeil ann am Moria, a chaidh a dhealbhachadh airson 3000 neach, agus chan eil dealan aig a' chuid as motha ann am fuachd a' gheamhraidh. Bidh iad a' ge脿rradh seann chraobhan ola gus teintean a losgadh, rud a bhios a' cur cais air muinntir an 脿ite. Chan fhada bhon a bha an d脿 thaobh a' togail fianais ann am pr矛omh bhaile Lesbos, Mitilini.
Dh'fh脿g an riaghaltas na f貌garraich gun chothrom air taic mheidigeach bhon Iuchair an-uiridh. Tha aire an riaghaltais air togail ionadan-fuirich d霉inte. Tha am ministear a' dol 脿s 脿icheadh gur e pr矛osain a bhios annta agus e cuideachd air innse gun t猫id bacaidhean a chur dhan mhuir gus daoine a chumail air falbh. Thuirt iasgair a chaidh ainmeachadh airson Duais S矛th Nobel ris a' phr貌gram,聽"chan urrainnear bacadh a chur sa mhuir".
Crisis on the Island of Lesbos
On the Greek island of Lesbos the migrant聽crisis is worsening. Around 20,000 refugees and migrants are in a precarious situation; many of them call it "hell".聽As Andreas Wolff reports,聽many聽families with small children live outside the official Moria camp, designed for 3000, and most of them have no electricity in the bitter winter cold. They are chopping down ancient olive trees to light fires, which upsets the locals. Both have recently protested in the capital of Lesbos, Mitilini.
The government have left the refugees without access to healthcare since July of last year and are instead focussed on building closed pre-departure centres. The minister denies they are prisons and has also announced plans to install barriers in the sea to prevent arrivals in the first place. A local fisherman and Nobel Peace Prize nominee told this programme, "the sea cannot be blocked".
