Moria: After the fire

A year after fire destroyed Europe鈥檚 largest refugee camp, Moria, we hear the stories of a few of the survivors.

The fire that destroyed the sprawling Moria asylum seekers鈥 camp on the Greek island of Lesvos last September made headlines around the world. For the asylum seekers who lost their makeshift home and most of their possessions, it was a devastating setback. For Greece, still hosting thousands of migrants Europe won鈥檛 take in, the fire intensified a determination to move them on elsewhere. What has happened to some of Moria鈥檚 former residents since then? Working with Athens-based journalists Katy Fallon and Stavros Malichudis, Maria Margaronis follows a few of them - all Afghans - as they negotiate the search for safety and stability some migrants call 鈥渢he game.鈥 After the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, tens of thousands of Afghans are trying to leave their country. These are the stories of some who had already made the journey.
