Back home from Lesvos. The world's topsy turvy but seems almost uneventful compared to what's it like there. Feels like returning from a war

"Winter is coming," on everyone's mind there. Harsh weather, no tourists to support volunteers, or media presence to protect refugees & them

Many Lesvos locals help the refugees & support volunteers, but activists are also criticized, impeded, threatened. It'll get worse in winter

Lesvos was mainstream throughout the summer, when the going was easy. Consider reporting from it in the winter too, it'll make a difference.

There's just enough time for infrastructural prep to shield refugees during the winter. State/INGOs must step up the work, not just rhetoric
