A Syrian migrant sports fresh bandages after allegedly being beaten by Greek police in the Moria Refugee Camp. Countless others were also injured in a riot that destroyed over 60% of the facility. The riots were initiated by refugees due to internal racial disputes and the endless delay in immigration processing. "We don't want their food, we don't want their water, we just want to leave," one Pakistani migrant said. This entrapment is far from over, with the majority of European countries refusing to accept refugees at this time. "We left our countries to escape war. Now we are forced to live like this," an injured Nigerian migrant explained.
