The mayor intends to accept refugees from Moria.

In a collective show of compassion, the mayors of ten German cities have expressed their readiness to take in refugees from the burned-down Moria camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. The mayors, hailing from Hannover, Potsdam, Freiburg, Oldenburg, Düsseldorf, Göttingen, Gießen, Cologne, Bielefeld, and Krefeld, have penned a letter to Chancellor Angela Merkel and Interior Minister Horst Seehofer, urging them to facilitate the relocation of refugees from the devastated camp.

The fire that engulfed the Moria camp has left approximately 13,000 people without shelter, and it is known that some of them were infected with the coronavirus. The mayors' offer to take in refugees is aimed at alleviating the humanitarian crisis and catastrophe that the fire has precipitated.

The mayors are dismayed by Horst Seehofer's refusal to allow municipalities to help in accommodating refugees from Moria. They have reiterated their request for the federal government to take the lead and not wait for a Europe-wide solution to the housing of refugees from Moria.

The mayors have emphasized the urgency of addressing the humanitarian crisis in Moria and the need for immediate action from the federal government and the European Union. They are appalled that the European Union has not prevented the escalation in Moria and that inhuman conditions in camps on European external borders continue to exist.

The mayors have reaffirmed their commitment to making a humanitarian contribution to the dignified accommodation of asylum seekers in Europe. Municipalities across Europe are ready to assist in accommodating refugees from Moria, with cities in Germany leading the charge.

However, the mayors of the ten German cities that have expressed readiness to take in refugees from Moria have not been named explicitly in the provided search results. The mayors' letter to Chancellor Merkel and Interior Minister Seehofer serves as a powerful call to action, urging the federal government to pave the way for the much-needed humanitarian contribution from willing municipalities.
