Bihac is struggling to manage the refugee/ migrant situation as the boarders to Croatia is strictly closed. Many refugees from Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and the middle east as well as north Africa are stranded in the region and is struggling to cope with a difficult life in this northern town in Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the poorest countries in Europe. Many gets injured while attempting to do 'The Game'.. the term used describing attempting to cross the boarder into the EU (Croatia). The stories often goes like this: The Croatioan police beat us, the strip us, burn our things and steal our phones and money. Most comes back to Bosnia with injuries, often serious injuries.
Winter is coming, temperatures are now bellow freezing at night. Elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina takes place next week and we are in the middle of a pandemic. Life is not easy while attempting to reach Europe at the moment. More to come.
