Escape from Iraq

Roland Schmid

After years of war at home, and a long journey across half of Europe, this family of five from Iraq has found shelter in Switzerland. The refugee shelter in Allschwil is their third stop in Switzerland within a week. Their cell phones have been confiscated, and they face deportation to Bulgaria, the Schengen country where they were first registered.
