Thousands of people had to flee from a massive fire which engulfed a camp for refugees and migrants on the Greek island of Lesbos. The blaze started on September 19, as fights reportedly broke out between groups within the tent city. The UN refugee agency said poor living conditions contributed to the rapid spread of the flames.
