They’re saying this massive refugee migration out of the Middle East/North Africa into Europe has been the largest migration of people since World War II.
As many nations have started closing their borders, it has left trapped hundreds of thousands of people stuck in refugee camps. I had a chance to visit for a week at one such refugee camp in Serbia with a superb charity called Operation Mobilization. It was along a border town near the Croatia and Hungary border which were closed.
For a week the Operation Mobilization team served tea to refugees. Because refugees were stuck for months at this camp there was nothing to do and no where to go. By serving tea we provided a shared community event that was greatly appreciated by the migrants.
The refugees were not just fleeing war zones in Syria, Iraq and Libya — but we encountered refugees from Pakistan, Afghanistan, mid-Africa, Iran, Turkey and even Cuba.
