In the last few weeks, hundreds of people have been moved out of refugee camps in Northern Greece into hotels or similar accommodation. Snow has been falling, and temperatures hit minus ten at night. Frustration and dis-empowerment is everywhere. After months of waiting, those who remain in the camp know that when they are relocated, it will be without warning or explanation.
When the time comes to move families or individual refugees out of the camp, they are often told late one evening that a van will be moving them the next day. They are given only hours to pack their belongings.
