VIDEO: Migrants on a Train that Will Never Reach Europe

Thu Apr 14, 2016 12:01:56

Trains are an essential component to the journeys of many migrants entering Europe but for 42-year-old Syrian Wissam Arab and his 11-year-old son, they have become stuck on one train in particular.

Along with a number of other migrants on the Greek border with Macedonia, they are living inside train carriages left several weeks ago by the Greek National railway.

While Wissam remains stranded on the border, his mother is in Germany and the rest of his family are in Syria.
