Hundreds more refugees and migrants were left without shelter on the island of Lesvos on Wednesday night, after a series of fires burned through the informal encampments which had survived a catastrophic fire that burned the Moria asylum centre the night before.

The continuing destruction worsened an already acute crisis for the Greek government, which had already declared a four-month state of emergency on the island following the first conflagration, which left more than 3,000 camp residents homeless.
