The Shortlist of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2016
The wind cries war
Since the civil war in Syria and situation in middle east gets worst day by day, the number of refugees and immigrants increases. Greece is the entrance point for these people who try to reach Europe. Nowadays 80 percent of the refugees coming to Greece are from Syria. Unfortunately, many of them never completed their trip. They drowned in the Mediterranean Sea.
Lesbos is on the front line of this wave of arrivals. But Greece is only their first station. No one wants to stay here. Their goal is to reach west Europe, specially Germany. After a few days in Greece their odyssey continues toward North Greece. Refugees second station is Macedonia, immediately after cams Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Germany last.
