Riot police react as a crowd of Turkish and Syrian refugees begin to throw rocks outside the entrance to a camp in Moria, Lesvos. The riot began earlier this morning with refugees flipping dumpsters, lighting trash on fire, and taunting police. After months of decreasing arrivals, Lesvos has seen a fresh influx of migrants due to lax policies, a significant price drop for the voyage to European soil, and unlikely nature of actually being sent back if caught mid-trip. In the past 48 hours, 93 refugees have arrived on the shores of Lesvos, placing the total number of trapped individuals at 5,264, according to police.
