DO WE CARE? The sight of thousands of asylum seekers on the Greek island of Lesbos stretching their hands out for food throws light on the shocking state of desperate people in search of a new life. Following a fire that burnt down the country’s largest camp, most of the migrants spent a third night in the open. Homeless, hungry and without shelter, many cried for food, water and medicine. France, Germany and other countries have offered to take in some of the people, especially children. Do we care? Every time we waste food and water, or spend money on what we don’t need, spare a thought for those who are struggling – just to live. (COMMENT BY: Alex Abraham, Senior Associate Editor)
