Migrant crisis in Hungary

At Keleti train station in Budapest, where thousands of migrants had camped out for nearly a week, the trains full of migrants stopped at Bicske and taken off by police, near the refugee camp. A few hours later the refugees escaped camps along railway tracks and next day, thousands of desperate refugees from young children to the elderly march along the M1 motorway from Budapest towards the Austrian border.

To avoid the chaos, the Hungarian government provided around 100 buses to pick up migrants from Keleti and transported them to the Austrian border.

As the only photo & videojournalist with a friend of mine embarked one of the bus and documented the odyssey of refugees, started at Budapest Keleti station all the way to Nickeldorf, Austria. Some footage are available in Farsi, Pashto and Arabic.

HD Footage from the journey are available for news agencies and NGO's. Price depends on usage.

Fell free to drop me a line.

Journey To Nowhere - Migrants crises in Hungary

Chaos unfolded in Budapest's Keleti station as crowds of migrants and refugees who had been camped outside were finally allowed in.  Migrants and refugees thought to they are going to Sopron a Hungarian border town near Austrian border than continue their journey to Germany.

After 40 minutes travelling, Hungarian riot police stopped the train at Bicske station and wanted to force the people to the detention center to register.

Migrants were shocked to find out that their train was not heading to Austria. Currently they are in the wagons and waiting for the help of Germany and the European Union.

(next day the refugees broke out and started walking toward Austrian boarder)

Transit Zone Budapest Keleti

I shot this interview at the newly set up Transit Zone for migrants at the Eastern "Keleti" Train Station in Budapest. Migration Aid is a volunteer civil initiative to help refugees arriving to Hungary reach their assigned refugee camps. Sorry, this video is currently available only in Hungarian.

Exhausted migrants in Budapest

A Nyugati pályaudvar előtt egy fiatalember banánt és ivóvizet oszt kimerült menekülteknek. Nem sokkal később két migráns fiatalember ugrott egymásnak, akiket társaik a kisebb dulakodás után szétválasztottak. A rendőrök szinte pillanatok alatt a helyszínre érkeztek és a pályaudvar területére kísérve kikérdezték a két verekedő fiatalt. Egyelőre nem tudni, miért tört ki az incidens.

Lunch time of Cambodian garment workers

An estimated 700,000 workers in Cambodia sew and package over $5 billion worth of clothing, textiles and shoes every year, but the factory workers are living in extreme poverty. Popular brands made in Cambodia like Adidas, Puma, H & M, Gap, Old Navy, American Eagle, Wal-Mart, Abercrombie and Fitch.

Demonstration in Hungary over immigration policy

I photographed the protest against the immigration policy of Viktor Orban, Hungary's prime minister, organized by the Migrant Solidarity Group (MigSzol) in downtown Budapest.

Boeung Kak lake

I visited the former Boeung Kak lake area where the previous years 1.500 families were forcibly evicted but the mosque is allowed to be built there. The lake was filled with sand by Shukaku Inc which was granted the lease for a $79 million development of the Boeung Kak lake area of Phnom Penh in 2007.

The newly built Alserkal Mosque mosque privately funded by a Dubai-based businessman at a cost of $2.9 million and was inaugurated by PM Hun Sen.

Local people crossing the Mekong River on National Road 1 between Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City by one of the last ferry at Neak Loeung, just a few hours before PM Hun Sen inaugurates the new Tsubasa Bridge.

Faces of Cambodia

Taking pictures with a shorter or longer lenses don't change perspective. Chose your location carefully, change the background, ambiance and do everything t take a great photograph. Sometime just go a little closer to the subject.

 

Traffic in Phnom Penh

In Phnom Penh most of the time the traffic is chaotic and motorcyclists seemingly suicidal. Traffic accidents are not uncommon. Don't be surprised if the entire families packed onto a single motorbike with a large variety of goods. This is "normal" in Cambodia. Death toll due to traffic accidents in Cambodia is on the rise, so be careful and use helmet if you ride motorbike. For the last 30 years, Sambo the elephant has been entertaining tourists at Wat Phnom but after she retired, finally relocated to Mondulkiri Elephant Sanctuary. For many years she was a permanent feature in the capital, giving rides to tourists.
