Syrian refugee father and chidlen on the move, as morning mist begins to clear, having passed by the collection point near Röszke where the Hungarian authorities require refugees to take buses to registration centres. If caught by poilice patrols they will be brought back.
The sometimes chaotic and rubbish strewn collection point, with infrastructure, food and basic medical care provided only thanks to volunteers with support from UNHCR, is situated a kilometer inside the Hungarian frontier from Serbia, along an old railway line, which thousands of refugees have used to cross the border. The flow of refugees continued to grow, with delays increasing, until the Hungarian government sealed the frontier with Serbia using razor wire and a high fence, and brought in new laws on the 15th September effectively halting the influx of refugees.
