“There are lots of people inside the tents here. It’s overcrowded and there is no proper bathroom. We fear the spread of diseases."

"I try to find a way to play, but it’s difficult. I want to go to my father in Europe. We want to have our freedom; I want to study and become a pharmacist. I want to be able to help people.”
