Europe is currently facing a refugee crisis. Thousands of people flee because it is the only alternative. In a moment of war, very close to European borders, the outflow of refugees is concentrated on the continent.

The Syrian and Iraqi conflicts are getting more and more settled. There is lack of drinking water, the destruction of infrastructures, lack of medical services and the pain of war in the region of the Middle East.
