#LetSyriansGo
TWITTER STORM : 4th September 2015
TIME: 8:00pm GMT
There is a humanitarian crisis taking place in Hungary. Syrian refugees are left in limbo and low on supplies at the Budapest train station (Hungary) as well as treated inhumanely in the camps. Syrians got on a train this morning to head out of Hungary, hoping to go to Germany where they are welcoemd, and were stopped for 7 hours by the Hungarian police! There is fear that once the media disappears as night falls, these Syrians will be sent back to the camp, which will be devastating for them. They have been shouting "No camp, no camp!" in desperation.
This twitter storm aims to put political pressure on the respective governments and urges them to allow these refugees to go to Germany.
