  • Alsheikh family around the little food they could get during the food distribution. They come from Aleppo in Syria where the father worked as a gynaecologist until his hospital was bombed by the government forces after it was occupied by the Islamic State army. There are more than 10 groups plus the government forces fighting in Aleppo. They worried about their children’s future so they decided to leave their country where IS is forcing children to leaned how to fight. His life was also in danger if IS could find out that he was a doctor there. Already his wife’s brother who is travelling with them (in the back), had been injured by a bullet. The route they followed was: from Aleppo to Azaz by car, then  they walked for 21km to the border with Turkey, after crossing they walked for 10 more km until the first village Kilis, then they went to Urfa by a small bus they rented, then traveled for 36 hours by local bus to Izmir where they met the smugglers who arranged for them to go to Greece. They brought them 70km north of Izmir where they crossed by boat to Mytilene island. That was three days ago and they have been in the camp for 2 days while they are waiting for their registration papers so that they can continue their trip. They thought that they would find better conditions in Greece so they where quite disappointed. Their final destination is Germany. <br />

  • Tarik Aljadoue (34) and his wife Samar Jamal (27) at the space that NGO Aggalia has organised as a temporary stop for refugees in Kaloni village, as they are on their way to Mytilene city. A local person drove them there the night before. The couple is from Alepo in Syria where Tarik was working as an IT engineer for a French owned oil company until they closed down their business there in 2011. Since 2011 he moved to Kafarhamra north of Alepo, as his house in Alepo was in a dangerous area. He got married to Samar one year ago and they were waiting to see what will happen to their country. 6 months ago internet was cut so it was difficult to learn any news of what was really happening. Local TV was only broadcasting propaganda from different armies. On Friday one week ago, they decided to find a safe country to have their children and leave Syria where they saw no work and no future as they could not see the end of this war. They want to try to reach Germany or any other European country where they can find work. <br />
Their trip started from Alepo to Tartus by bus, then on an other bus to a port from where they boarded a ship for one and a half day to Toshojo port (Tasucu port?) in Turkey near Mersin. From there they took a bus for 13 hours to Izmir but before they arrive they heard that there were police checks in Izmir and as soon as they arrived, they boarded an other bus for 9 hour to Istanbul. There they stayed for two days until the smugglers told them that they could start their trip to Greece. They payed 1250 USD each and after two days, at 8 am, they met the smugglers at a metro station, they boarded a bus with 60 people and no AC and they traveled to a location near Izmir. The trip lasted for 7 hours and it was unbearably hot. When they got off the bus somewhere near the sea, they were told to switch off their mobile phones and walk for one hour until they reached the sea. There there were three dinghy boats with engines and 33 to 40 people would board on each

  • Zahra (17) (blue scarf) with her family. They used to live in Kabul where her father was a Shia priest who the Taliban didn’t like and she was going to high school with high interest in mathematics that she would like to study. Her mother was a seamstress and she also has two brothers of which we can see the younger. They all left Kabul in order to protect her as they were informed by a letter that a week later she would be taken by the Taliban. One of her neighbourhood friends had already been taken by the Taliban and nobody knew what happened to her, an other one of her friends had been killed in a suicide bombing and she was very scared. She is hoping that the family can reach a country where they can sleep without fear and where she will not create any more bad memories.<br />

He stayed there for two years but he often received threats because Afghanis saw him as someone who had collaborated with the “infidel”.
