cnnireportDesperate men, women and children are fleeing war-ravaged Syria or Iraq in often deadly voyages. Travel photographer Eric D. Berry (@thelifeoferic) spent hours with thousands of the refugees at the Keleti train station in Budapest, Hungary, on Thursday. He met this boy waiting at the station. “Everywhere you look there are families sleeping on cardboard boxes, in tents, fighting for food, praying and begging for help,” he said. “They simply want passage to Germany. A chance to start a new life. I don’t know what to do. How to help these people. So I took pictures. My hope is that some of you will see them and care.” See more images of the migrant crisis by clicking the link in our profile and tag your images #cnnireport.
