Sadjad, 2, and his family are refugees from Kondos, Afghanistan. They are having a welcome rest in a warm temporary shelter near the train station, before they continue on to the Croatian border, on their way to Germany. After being threatened by the Taliban the family fled. Over the last month and a half they have walked through the snow-packed mountains of Afghanistan, taken a circuitous route through Pakistan (to avoid border control), and taken the harrowing boat ride from Turkey to Greece. Setaesh: "Our babies were screaming and crying for food for days." It was really difficult-we threw our baggage away." Farashta, regarding the boat ride: "I was really scared for my children." Presevo, Serbia, January 2016.
