Refugees as they come through Greece on their way to northern EU countries

Abbashi family from Herat, Afghanistan at Victoria square while they are waiting to find a way to travel to a northern european country, preferably Germany. 5 years ago the husband and the wife (standing) got injured in a suicide bombing. The husband spent 2 years in bed until he could recover and since then they tried to save money to bring the family out of the country. They now have no money and are waiting for some help to be able to continue their trip.
Victoria square in Athens is one of the main gathering places for refugees. They stay there until they can find a way to travel to Thessaloniki and to the northern border of Greece where they can cross on foot on their way to northern European countries.
