During 2015, 1.015.078 refugees and migrants reached Europe through the Mediterranean by unseaworthy boats, according to the United Nations High Comissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). This means 799.000 more refugees than the ones that got to the continent in 2014. Worldwide, over 60 million people were forcibly displaced in 2015, the highest level of worldwide displacement ever recorded according to the United Nations programme. So far this year, UNHCR calculates that 262.935 refugees have made their way into Europe, and 31% of them are children. They jump in the rain, they cheerful chase the tents (their own shelters) when these are dragged by the wind and they collect flowers to give away with a big smile. But despite their laughs, which make one wonder if they actually understand what they are going through, sometimes, between their games, they look at the sky with a blank stare, their faces frozen.
