“Khadija, 42, is a mother of four from Syria who is now detained on Samos island, Greece, along with her children. She spoke to MSF from behind two metal fences.
“What is going to happen next? Will they kill us here in Europe? My husband was killed and our house was destroyed by a barrel bomb in 2013. Since then we have been moving from village to village looking for safety, until I lost hope and I brought my children to Turkey. I worked many jobs but it was so hard for me to manage with four children so I decided to come here to be safe. Yet here we are behind barbed wire like criminals, this is extremely unjust.
“We arrived on Samos with the hope of reaching Germany, but we were surprised with this inhumane deal that everyone’s taking about. What is this for? Is the war over? Are they preventing Syrians to seek safety? I don’t have a university degree and I am simple woman from a small village in Idlib province, but I know that all those politicians you see on television, wearing fancy suits and talking about human rights and freedom, are just filthy hypocrites making money from our suffering. All their decisions are about their interests, and have nothing to do with people’s protection.””
