Hundred of migrants in Bosnia refused to drink water and eat the food that was provided to them in order to protest the conditions in their camps. The migrants wanna move further down as the makeshift camp that they are living in now is not safe. The migrants are living in tents and do not have a good source of electricity and not that much food resources. The council of Europe commissioner, is shutting down Vucjak, which is one of the regions that these camps are set in because of freezing weather and sight of first snow fall for the year. The weather is so cold that by keeping Vucjak open, it is only a matter of time that fatalities would start to occur. All the migrants want to do is cross the border and for that reason they are refusing to eat or drink in order to force the authorities to keep the camp going until they reach warmer climates.
Picture above shows a person in Vucjak camp standing outside of the tents where people are taking shelter.
