Thousands of them come from Turkey, crossing the sea border on inflatable dinghy boats, on a dangerous trip that has claimed many lives. Local people or NGOs expect them and help them in some places but after their arrival, most of them have to walk to the nearest village where they can hope for a places on busses that can take them to the city of Mytilene where they can register and eventually board on a ferry to Athens. Many decide to walk the distance as the busses aren’t enough to accommodate the large number of people that arrive daily.

  • 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

  • Rahmat Qorbani (24) is from Kabul in Afghanistan. He studied photography at the art university of Kabul and he was working as a photographer for Afghani newspapers. His family is educated and his father is a teacher. The little money he was making with his work and the war with the Taliban who recently killed his cousin, scared him and made him decide to leave the country in search for a better future. He came to Greece via Iran and Turkey and his final destination is Ireland as he heard that it is easier for refugees to be accepted there. <br />

  • Rahmatullah (24, on the left) is travelling together with his middle brother Aziz (21, on the right). He is fluent in English as he used to work as a translator for the American army. He left Afghanistan once and lived in the US for two years until he was asked to leave the country because of a fight he had had with a US solder in Afghanistan. He said that what happened was that he stopped the US solder when he entered a house and tried to rape a young Afghani mother. He had to return to Afghanistan. He stayed there for two years but he often received threats because Afghanis saw him as someone who had collaborated with the “infidel”. Six months ago they attacked and injured his younger brother with a hand-grenade, mistaking him for Rahmatullah. He and his brother Aziz left Afghanistan 45 days ago and crossed to Greece via Turkey. Their final destination is Denmark where they already have members of their family living there. <br />
