A six-year old child and a woman were killed in a fire in a refugee camp in Greece. Greek police said the fire was started by an exploding gas cylinder. 
 
After the deaths, migrants set fire to the camp and clashed with police, AFP reported, citing police sources. 
 
The Moria refugee camp houses over 5,000 migrants and refugees, more than the 3,500 it was built for. 
 
Nabaz, a former Peshmerga from Sulaimani and now a refugee, described how the boy died in his arms.
