Faced with the arrival of migrants and asylum seekers, the practices of several European countries raise questions.

Note that the

association
helps children in the Lesbos refugee camp and is currently looking for temporary accommodation for refugees who have obtained their asylum but are still waiting in Athens.
The Lipa camp in
Bosnia and Herzegovina
was burned down on December 23.
Since then, nearly a thousand migrants have survived in the rubble, in the cold, without electricity, running water or heating.
An evacuation attempt on December 30 was blocked by local authorities.

Austria
and
Italy
to
Bosnia-Herzegovina
via
Slovenia
and
Croatia
