Elements.
The Greek government said tuesday and Wednesday night fires were intentionally lit through some of the camp’s citizens, angered by isolation orders issued to prevent the spread of coronavirus after 35 citizens became infected.

“The social security nets put in are full of holes,” said Olivier De Schutter, a Belgian lawyer appointed by the UN Human Rights Council as special rapporteur on excessive poverty and human rights.
“These existing measures are short-term, investment is inadequate and many other people will inevitably fall through the cracks,” Schutter said.
His message was addressed to the assembly of world leaders this month for the United Nations General Assembly and called on them to take more decisive action to eliminate poverty and reduce inequality, according to a UN statement released on Friday.
De Schutter said the economic slowdown in the pandemic has been unprecedented in peacetime since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
He warned that another 176 million people around the world could fall into poverty, with $3. 20 a day as a benchmark for poverty.
Even though governments have promised help to social systems, the world’s poorest other people are excluded because they have neither virtual wisdom nor Internet access,” he said.

But singers and bar owners who are unwilling to hide their microphones say that the activity can be and that all karaoke lovers are punished for the acts of some irresponsible.
