Do you know what is happened to the refugees while they have escaped from their country? If you want to know, read this true story that I have lived in that time!
I providing to readers a true story that has happened in Europe, while I fled from my country in order to find a safe place.
There is a lot of facts that still unknown to people, maybe you have heard some events that happened to the refugees by the news or media, but most of the news is fake, usually, there is something amiss.
Actually, I had experience among refugees and I had lived with them from the Aegean Sea to the final destination in Europe.
The purpose of my journey to find a suitable life for a living, as anyone wants that life. But unfortunately, it was not easy to find peace and the country says welcome.
Difficult Journey!
The most direct routes are fraught with danger. In 2015 more than 3,770 people drowned or went missing crossing the Mediterranean to Greece or Italy in flimsy dinghies or unsafe fishing boats.
I have stuck in Serbia 40 days and begun walking from Belgrade towards the border with Hungary, I saw a lot of refugees stranded in Serbia have begun walking from Belgrade towards the border with Hungary to protest against its closure for most people trying to reach the European Union.
Most of those heading for Greece take the relatively short voyage from Turkey to the islands of Kos, Chios, Lesbos, and Samos. There is very little infrastructure on these small Greek islands to cope with the thousands of people arriving, leaving overburdened authorities struggling to provide vital assistance.
More than 1.3 million people have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe since 2015, creating major humanitarian and resettlement challenges in coastal countries and the Western Balkans. When it comes to children, receiving countries have struggled to provide care, housing, and education. In 2015 and 2016, an estimated 30% of asylum-seekers in the European Union were children.
Hundreds of migrants are stranded at the border. They have been sleeping rough for months without any solutions!
During the massive influx of refugees and migrants in 2015, Serbia was mainly a country of transit on the route to the European Union for several hundreds of thousands fleeing war and persecution.
Even after the EU-Turkey Statement in March 2016 and de facto closure of the borders along the so-called Balkan route, the perception of those that remained stranded did not change and Serbia was still not considered as a destination country by most refugees and migrants, even though transit became ineffective and drastically prolonged compared to 2015 and early 2016.
Immediately after the closure of the Balkan route, the only safe pathway to EU across Serbia, led through established transit zones on the Hungarian border with Serbia, and a daily admission process.
I escaped from Serbia to Hungary!
Hungarian authorities who catch refugees are legally required to collect fingerprints from the refugees and file them in a European database.
Those refugees are then officially processed for asylum status in Hungary. And the problem was if the refugees are processed in Hungary, it means other countries could turn them back. In short, and they have forced me to applied asylum despite they did not want refugees to live in their country.
