- Today our team arrived in Macedonia, where refugees are desperately trying to reach Austria and Germany through the Serbian border.

- They joined a local organisation, Merhamet, who were distributing food packs to refugees arriving at Tabanovce. Our assistant programmes manager told us, ‘Every day trains come bringing refugees who are tired and hungry. They tell Merhamet that they get beaten by police on the Macedonian Greece border and pushed and shoved like cattle. Merhamet has been working with organisations like the Turkish charity, IHH to deliver aid to those getting off the trains’.

- Although refugees and migrants are arriving from all over Asia and the Middle East, including Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, they show a unified front in the face of adversity.
