The extended family group of Ismail Ibrahim waiting to board a train to the Serbian border after passing through the Vinojug Reception Center on the Greek Macedonian border. 80 year-old Ismail and his family fled from North East of Syria 4 years ago, at the beginning of the war. They fled to Turkey where they tried to live a normal life, but the living conditions became so difficult that they were forced to run away again. They could not even pay the rent of a two bedroom house. They had no other choice but to risk their life again to go to Europe. After crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey to Greece, Ismail is leading 23 family members, three generations of his family, mainly his daughters, his sons-in-law and grandchildren to safety, hoping to go to Germany.
