Afghan migrant dead after brawl in Greek island of Lesvos

An Afghan migrant was killed, and three others were injured on Sunday after a violent brawl that broke out among them in a village on the eastern Aegean island of Lesvos, Greek national news agency AMNA reported.

The incident took place at a house which some of the Afghans rented near the Moria refugee camp.

According to the local police, the cause of the violence was not yet known.

The island of Lesvos has been at the forefront of the refugee crisis over the last two years.

More than 1 million people landed on Greek shores, crossing the Aegean Sea from Turkey and continuing their perilous journey to central Europe, before the closure of the Balkan corridor.

Currently, approximately 8,000 migrants and refugees are being hosted on Lesvos island, according to official data released last week.
