THOUSANDS of refugees slept on the street in Lesbos with little food or water for a second night in a row after fires razed Moria camp to the ground. 

Police continued to blockade roads between the camp to the island’s main city of Mytilene, fencing in almost 13,000 refugees who lost the little they had in the huge blaze. 

More fires broke out at Europe’s largest refugee camp on Wednesday night, destroying the few tents that had survived the first blaze the previous night.
