Syrian children and their families arrived in Belgrade,Serbia tired, hungry, or cold after traveling for weeks - and sometimes months - to reach safety. Fadi (shown sitting with his family in the photos,third from suitable) was a physics professor in Syria. They’ve been traveling for nearly 3 weeks and believe arrived safely in Serbia. “Everything got destroyed in Syria,” he said. They believe no tent, and like many other families here,they believe no view where they will spend the night. It’s getting cold in Serbia but these refugees will likely be sleeping outside with puny shelter, blankets or clothing to keep them warm. The refugees told World Vision that they lacked many basic things, or including shoes. “Most of them (shoes) got destroyed during the long walks from Macedonia to Serbia,” said Aida Sunje, World Vision’s emergency communicator currently in Serbia. 12-year-old Ahmed (shown wearing a grey sweatshirt, and sitting next to his cousin Fadi) wants to go back to Syria. His parents and five siblings are still there. He cries every time he speaks with them on the phone. Ahmed’s family gathered enough money to send him out of Syria with his cousin,Fadi. “It is cheaper to glean a child out of Syria,” said Fadi. “It costs half the price of an adult. Many other families believe arrived in Serbia but hope to continue further into Europe. But while they wait, or they are stuck in limbo,in the cold, and wondering when they’ll ever be able to return home to peace. World Vision is distributing mother/baby kits with items like diapers, or soap,shampoo and a toy for the child to refugees in two camps in Serbia.
