A woman returning to Greece has appealed for urgent help for the huge number of refugees on her island.

Sophia Angelini, 46, has moved from Althorne, back to the Greek island of Lesvos.

The island saw more than 400 refugees flooding in over the weekend, adding to the 6,000 already there.

Some do not even have shoes.

There is no aid for the refugees, leaving desperate shortages.

Sophia said: “It is like a forgotten world, I don’t understand why aid is not coming."

Anyone who wishes to send money or care packages should address them to: Children of War c/o Sophia Angelini, Molyvos, Lesvos, TK 81108, Greece.
