Merkel is in touch with Interior Minister Horst Seehofer and also plans meetings with regional mayors on implementing a relocation of some of the now-homeless Moria residents, members of her Christian Democrats (CDU) told dpa following high-level party talks on Monday.

The German government is said to still be focusing on a joint European solution to the humanitarian crisis.

Five years ago, Germany acted unilaterally in letting hundreds of thousands of stranded migrants into the country at the peak of the European refugee crisis, in a defining moment in Merkel’s career that earned her international praise but also damaged her popularity at home.

The infamously overcrowded camp on the Greek island of Lesbos was almost completely destroyed in an alleged act of arson last week. It had been home to more than 12,000 people.

Germany will make a “substantial contribution,” Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters in Berlin on Monday.

Seibert noted that the Greek government has accepted responsibility for the people on Lesbos. “It is a unique emergency,” he added.

On Friday, Seehofer announced that Germany would take in 100-150 children as part of a joint European initiative for unaccompanied minors. Talks are also said to be planned with Athens on relocating families with children.

The CDU’s Social Democrat coalition partners have slammed the response as paltry, calling for thousands of migrants to be taken in.
