Former Refugee Develops Shelter Suits to Survive Freezing Weather

This former refugee has developed an innovative way to help refugees survive freezing winter conditions in Greece.

Shasho was once a refugee who endured Europe’s winter. Now he runs his own factory that makes jackets to keep refugees in Lesbos warm.

Moria, a Greek refugee camp on Lesbos island, had heavy rain and snow this week.

Aid groups say thousands are stuck in wintry conditions not only on Lesbos, but on other Greek islands and throughout Eastern Europe. For many, the only shelter is a flimsy tent with no access to heat or electricity.
