Fire, death and violent protests at main refugee camp in Lesbos

At least one person has died after a fire broke out at an overcrowded refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos, local officials say.

They say the charred body of a woman was found at Moria camp. But unconfirmed reports say there was another victim, a child. Police sent reinforcements to the island to help restore order. They could not immediately reach an area of containers, where there were unconfirmed reports of another burned body.

Police later fired teargas against rioting migrants, who said firefighters were too slow to respond to the blaze.

The camp houses about 12,000 people in tents and shipping containers.
