What is a refugee?
Refugees are forced to flee their homes
and seek safety in another country, often times without warning.
Refugees must travel light with very few belongings or nothing at all,
for their trek to safety is often fraught with danger and great
hardship. Many risk their lives crossing borders. They leave family and
friends without saying goodbye and are unable to return home until
conditions in their native lands improve. Refugees receive protection
under international laws and conventions and lifesaving support from aid
agencies, including the International Rescue Committee. Currently,
there are nearly 60 million men, women and children escaping war,
persecution and political turbulence.
The majority of people taking the sea route to Europe are refugees. Some
347,400 have landed in Greece this year, most crossing the Aegean Sea
from Turkey in overcrowded rubber dinghies. More than 80 percent have
fled the bloody war in Syria, now in its fifth year; 14 percent are from Afghanistan.
Many of the refugees who reach Greece continue to travel through
Macedonia, Serbia and Hungary to other destinations in Europe, a route
that makes them vulnerable to human traffickers, gangs and corrupt
officials.
Other
park residents are young and forced to provide for themselves. About
4,000 unaccompanied children are known to be making the journey to
Europe on their own, but humanitarian groups say it could be as many as
8,000.
Syrian refugees lack many basic things, such as shoes. Most shoes got destroyed on the long walks they took to reach Serbia. Like Muhammed, Fadi, and their families, refugees lack shelter as well.
“I miss my bed. I was used to sleeping normally, and now I have to sleep in the park,” says Alimuseneh, an 11-year-old refugee who sat on a park bench with his 4-year-old brother, Yusef.
Refugees said they plan to move on from Belgrade toward the Hungarian border and other European countries after a couple of days. Some were worried about passing through Hungary.
The International Business Times has reported that 2,000 migrants cross the border from Macedonia into Serbia daily — sometimes many more.
