Movhgan Isar, a 16-year-old asylum seeker from Afghanistan, said he and his family had been stopped by police as they tried to walk to the town of Mitilini.

The center is located outside the island's capital Mitilini near the Kara Tepe refugee camp, where about 1,500 refugees live, Swissinfo reported.

But in Moria, the camp just north of Mitilini, anxious migrants still huddle among the olive trees, wrap themselves in blankets, and discuss what their next moves should be.

The refugee agency temporarily evacuated the registration facilities at Moria, outside the island’s capital, Mitilini, after an outbreak of violence among the thousands of refugees, including families with young children, who line up there, sometimes for days.

This couple woke up at two a.m., packed, and headed to the Mitilini Port to await processing.
