Somalis flee to Hungary to escape violence

Refugees who fled their homes and finally found themselves safe in host countries still can’t be sure of their future, leaving in constant fear of deportation. RT met with a group of Somali asylum seekers in Hungary.

Elmi Sharif Muhmed has been in the country for a month and already has lots of friends.

“Life in the camp is very good. They give us shelter and everything we need for everyday life,” he said.

Football is a traditional pastime from home: for which there's plenty of time for while they wait hoping Hungary will allow them to stay. In the mean time they are looked after in their new temporary surroundings.

According to Hungary’s Immigration Office Tihanics Joisef:

“Refugees here are fed three times a day. Single women have separate accommodation. Children go to Hungarian schools. Adult refugees can come and go as they please as long as we know where they are and when to expect them back.”
