A fire broke out at a migrant camp on the Greek Island of Lesbos on Monday following a protest among refugees who claimed their cases weren't being processed.

Images show huge flames coming out of buildings at the Moria Refugee Camp, which houses more than 1,000 refugees.

It is believed that some of the migrants were told they were being deported before the fire broke out.

Police said no injuries were reported from Monday's protest and that the fire believed to have been set deliberately at the Moria camp is still burning.

There were no immediate reports of arrests.

A small group was involved in the protest at the camp, a large area of trailers and tents surrounded by razor wire fences, officials said.

Police had been called to the area to deal with a 'major disturbance' before the blaze.

Witnesses reported hearing explosions and smelling smoke before they were evacuated from the area.

One witness told Sky News: 'There are still people inside but people are protesting The people are tired, they are tired of what is happening here.'

Another witness said that protesters started lighting rubbish on fire, which led to larger blaze. People then started throwing stones during clashes with officials.

Many migrants in the camp have been at the facility for more than a year.

More than 14,000 migrants remain stranded on Lesbos and other Greek islands near Turkey.

They are not allowed to travel to the Greek mainland under the terms of an agreement between the European Union and Turkey reached last year.
