Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Greece's
'warehouse of souls:' Refugees stuck in old stadiums, derelict airport
A stadium is a
place where people gather to enjoy seeing sport games or music concerts. But
here people gathered only to see others like them being stranded.
An airport is
a place where people depart for or arrive from other places. But here people
only arrive from the same place and go nowhere.
That’s the
situation the refugees from Syria and some other countries are facing in abundant
facilities in Greece. They left their homeland in danger and in a hope to get to
a place where they can live in peace and get a job. However, because of the unsustainable
number of such refugees, once-praised Schengen Agreement to guarantee free
movement within participating EU countries is on the brink of collapse. In fact,
some boarders are closed physically having been installed unpenetrable fences
to block incoming refugees.
And they the
life of the refugees is safer but their hope is fading away.
Read and watch
the videos to learn what the lives of those stranded refugees are like.
