Eleven-year-old Ayham Albahsh has been living at the Schisto refugee camp near Athens, Greece, with his parents and his younger sister Lin for about eight months now.
In 2015, the family fled from Syria to Turkey, where they lived for eight years. In November 2023, they left Turkey by boat for the Greek island of Kos. They were later transferred to the Schisto refugee camp on the Greek mainland.
The Greek authorities have already rejected their asylum application twice, but the family refuses to give up and is trying again. For them, Greece is only a stopover: they want to move on and start a new life in a different country.
