Diavata camp near Thessaloniki was built for 720 people - now more than 2,000 refugees are living here. Every day there are between 40 and 50 more arriving at the former military site.
Those who are lucky live in containers, the new ones pitch their tent whereever they find space. They started on the base line of the former football pitch - in the meantime, they have reached the kick-off point in the center.
This environment leads to envy. When it rains, the soil is completely submerged within a few minutes. There have been several arguments and fights between groups of inhabitants during the last months. Two times, the staff had to be evacuated due to security concerns.
NGOs like ASB and Antigone are helping, but they have to follow the instructions of the Greek authorities.
Problem is: There are none - local officials are not entitled to decide on their own, everything is done in Athens. "We have no answer to what they want to do here with all the people," says Giorgos of ASB.

Cow Moose in Algonquin Provincial Park. Seen yesterday while on assignment with Canadian Geographic.
Guilty as charged!
Right in front of my nose, huge buildings, occupied by hundreds of families.
Downtown San Paulo, Brazil.
Few blocks from the City Hall, the Stock Exchange, the Central Bank among so many other fundamental, worthy and basic institutions.
In just one of the buildings, 475 families occupies 27 unfinished floors.
Kids play and run.
Clotheslines on the outside of the building, without any protection from falling down and in front of the entire city.
Windows, with breathtaking views, of one of the biggest and most populated cities on the Planet, made of compensated wood or sticks, even at the 27th floor.
People that use strength and organization to impose their reality, to a society that doesn’t care to listen.
Guilty as charged!

Mrs. (Loree) Murray, who died March 27 (2009) at 88 of pancreatic cancer, founded the Near Northeast Citizens Against Crime and Drugs to lead street patrols that helped police document evidence of drug dealing. She was joined by a handful of other men and women, including a 105-year-old who had once worked for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
"She was one of the first people who decided to take back her community, and to do that, she had to break up some of the most notorious drug rings operating at Second and K streets Northeast," said developer Ronald J. Cohen, who worked with Mrs. Murray to win community support for a building project on land that had once been a haven for vice.
He said Mrs. Murray no longer wanted her neighborhood to be seen as "the other side of the tracks."
Cohen said he plans to name a building in her honor. The "Loree Grand" will be part of the Union Place residential-retail complex, scheduled to open next spring at 200 K St. NE.
