About the Corona restrictions, M. said: "It is very difficult to go out of the camp to shop just for the very necessity. Yes, the camp was closed after Corona, but the people who used to live in the tents outside the camp were forced into the camp, and now they live in tents, and there is no place in the camp, now the camp is very crowded. But a while ago I spoke with a lawyer who said, ‘We cannot help anyone, and the European Union knows everything here and about the situation." "there is no place in the camp, now the camp is very crowded." — M.

The first is the faucets found in the containers which are cut off for almost 18 hours a day... The second source is the standpipes found outside the containers [where] the refugees stand in a queue for hours like what happened last summer." "the refugees stand in a queue for hours." — A. He estimates that there are approximately 1000 people living in about 300 tents, many of whom are families with young children and some of whom are sick. Asked how it feels to live in a space like this, he said: "Basically I don't feel safe here. Everything around me makes me feel I'm in danger of diseases as we are living around garbage, fights among refugees on almost a daily basis that happen [as a] result of being detained here for too long, and lastly the oppression and bad treatment we get from the administration and the police." A. states that not all staff have been coming to work wearing masks and that medical care is limited: "The doctor and four nurses working in the camp here don't belong to any medical NGOs. They're just camp employees. They are the worst. People are in a queue for hours and they only let a few get checked. Sick refugees get badly treated when they want referral to the hospital... such as we have to wait [for] a lot for hours."
