After a fire in Moria: Admission criteria have been set - only certain refugees are allowed to come to Germany

After the fire in Moria on Lesbos, Germany took in around 1,500 refugees.

Now it became known under which conditions they were selected.

• 1553 people from Moria, but also from other camps in Greece, are allowed to enter Germany.

• It is now clear which criteria apply to refugees in order to be accepted.

• For example, there are only families on the list.

Some people who are currently on other islands, such as Chios and Samos, are also allowed to enter.

The federal government has selected the refugees who will be brought from the Greek islands according to three criteria: Only families with a completed asylum procedure are allowed to come to Germany - and they should not all come from Moria.

Chris Melzer, press spokesman at

Germany.

It is true that women and children can be more in need of physical protection.

However, a young man who suffers from severe mental or physical health problems may have a higher degree of vulnerability than a healthy woman.
