A group of Syrians has advertised the tent they are living in on Airbnb, in an ironic dig against the miserable conditions they are experiencing in a camp in Greece.

In the advertisement, the Syrians say they have been living for three months in a tent in a refugee camp in Ritsona, north of Athens, and invite visitors to come and live with them, promising scorpions, dehydration and poor sanitation.

“This is a real opportunity to experience life as a Syrian refugee,” the advertisement said. “While EU politicians talk about refugees, you can have an authentic refugee experience – tents, wood-fire cooking, 41 degree heat, marginal sanitary situation, friendly scorpions, broken promises, even dehydration.”

Today, refugees in Idomeni organised another sit-in on the traintracks to protest against the continued border closure and the deteriorating conditions in Idomeni. “We didn’t bring our children to die here, open the door, if we wanted to die we could have stayed under the bombs there” (RefugeeTV, translation by Moving Europe).

The protesters also criticised the new policies used to convince people in Idomeni to move to the new camps and discussed whether Greek police is preventing volunteers from bringing food inside the camp. “They want the people to get desperate and to move to the new camps but people are being patient and people are not leaving here until the last breath, even if they let us starve” (RefugeeTV, translation by Moving Europe).
