Riots broke out last night at the Lesvos refugee-immigration reception and identification centre in Moria.

State and local authorities continued the transfer of migrants and refugees from Lesvos (Mytilini) to other locations in Greece on Thursday, to relieve overcrowding in the island's hotspot, Moria.

German Ambassador Jens Ploetner discussed the refugee crisis, tourism, culture and the challenges of the local economy during a visit and multiple meetings in Lesvos on Wednesday.
