Leros child migrants in protest

Dozens of immigrant children who arrived on the island of Leros from neighboring Turkey just over a week ago are refusing food to protest their housing conditions, a medical charity has told Agence France-Presse. The 121 would-be migrants, mostly Afghans aged between 10 and 16, have been accommodated in a hotel and another building but the conditions are “wretched,” an official of Medecins du Monde (MDM), also known as Doctors of the World, told AFP.
