Vote For Greek Islands To Receive Nobel Peace Prize

A global campaign currently circulating on the social media calls to award the Eastern Aegean islands with the Nobel Peace Prize for their contribution in the refugee crisis.

“The people of Lesbos and other Greek islands in the East Aegean, despite the on-going fierce economic crisis, have fought with the waves to save the valuable lives of desperate people fleeing the war zones of the Middle East, have provided safe shelter, warm clothing and food”, the campaign on Avaaz.com reads.

International media have been reporting how the native populations of the Greek Islands in the Aegean Sea (and many other external, worldwide, non-profit organisations and diaspora Greeks) have done and are doing anything possible to help the displaced Syrian refugees and make them as comfortable as possible, although they themselves have very little to offer, due to to a severe economic crisis for many years.

The campaign hopes their acts and sacrifices do not go unnoticed, “because they are significant contributors to World Peace and Stability, and are clear examples of love for others in the world to use and to learn from”.

More than 750,000 of the 900,000 migrants who have arrived in Europe this year landed in Greece, 60% on Lesbos, in the world’s biggest wave of mass migration since World War II.
