People sift through ash hoping to find what little is left after a huge fire ravaged Greece's main migrant camp in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Over 12,000 men, women and children were forced to flee from the makeshift camp in Moria just hours after the migration ministry said that 35 people had tested positive at the camp. IMAGES
Greece's largest migrant camp was partly evacuated after a major blaze broke out at the overcrowded and unsanitary home to nearly 13,000 asylum seekers. Nearly the entire Moria camp on the island of Lesbos was on fire, including in an olive grove outside the walls of the main compound where many asylum seekers sleep in tents. IMAGES

A migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesbos is badly damaged after a fire broke out late on Monday, forcing thousands of people to flee.
A makeshift migrant camp looks nearly empty in Mexico's Matamoros, at the border with Brownsville, Texas, where Democrat US President Joe Biden is expected to meet border patrol and other law enforcement agents. Also heading to the border is Republican former president Donald Trump, who will be about 300 miles (480 kilometers) to the west in Eagle Pass. The Texas showdown comes at a time when record numbers of migrant crossings into the United States are posing a threat to Biden's chances of preventing a Trump comeback in November's presidential election.
