Refugees are person who have to leave their country due to war or who has suffered persecution due to gender, religion, political opinion etc. They are commonly called asylum seekers. Throughout history there were many times that people were displaced due to war, the most recent is from the War on Terror. There are thousands of people that are displaced because of it. People are smuggled through Iran to Europe. Hundreds die in the journey because of boats overturning. The link below tells the story about the asylum seekers in Greece. Most of them left Afghanistan to escape the war, some are from Somalia. Some people are staying in detention camps for months already; some are staying at empty railroads with no water or food supply. They do not know what still awaits them and how are they going to survive.
