Holding tight
A man carries a boy through a cloud of tear gas during a clash
with police that began after fires broke out at a crowded
migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesbos on Sept. 29.
One woman died in the blazes. Human-rights groups have
long criticized conditions at the Moria camp, which was built
for 3,000 people but houses four times that number after a
surge of arrivals over the summer. Following the protest, the
Greek government said it would speed up plans to move or
deport thousands of asylum seekers off islands like Lesbos.
