CBC's Margaret Evans examines the Moria refugee centre in Greece

Thousands of refugees are finally leaving the Greek island of Lesbos with registration papers in hand, but thousands more continue to stream in, hoping for the same outcome. 

They're housed in the Moria Camp, Lesbos's official refugee centre. 

The refugees, most of whom are from Afghanistan, are waiting to see whether they can get their registration papers that  will allow them to legally buy ferry tickets to continue their journeys. 

The CBC's Margaret Evans takes you into the Moria Camp.
