The movement of people is not new.
But why do people move?
For thousands of years, people have moved from one area of the world to another.
This is called migration.

Refugees and migrants often use the same routes and modes of transport, as they make their journey.

People often put their life at risk, as they try to find a safe place to live or a better life.

Like many others, Abir and Tony’s family fled from Syria to Lebanon, a neighbouring country.

Why are more people seeking a new life in Europe?

People arrive in new countries in search of safety and a better life.

Love your neighbour
Jesus, friend and brother,
You know what it is like
to be hungry and thirsty.
You know what it feels like
to be a stranger who is made unwelcome.
You know the suffering of all
who have lost everything.
We pray that by welcoming refugees
we may show love for our neighbour
and be closer to you.
Amen. Tony Singleton/CAFOD
