ATHENS (AA) – A fire broke out at the Eleonas refugee camp in Athens on Wednesday.

A 12-year-old boy was said to have been rushed to a hospital due to respiratory problems, but authorities have not reported any other injuries or fatalities so far.

Around 24 firefighters and eight fire trucks are trying to douse a blaze that has already burned down three containers in the camp.

A fabric warehouse outside the camp also caught on fire and was partially damaged, according to officials.

Authorities are yet to ascertain the cause of the fire.
