It's very difficult to say.
Obviously, we don't have
a crystal ball to forecast,
but all the elements
that have driven people to flee
are still there.
The conflicts are still waging.
Syria, the biggest driver
of displacement,
is very much volatile. Uh...
Even though right now it's slow,
and over the past two days
there have hardly been
any arrivals,
but it's also extremely cold.
Winter has v-very much set in.
With the improvement of weather,
with coming of spring,
it's, uh, very likely that the
numbers will grow once more.
And it's difficult
to forecast how many,
but we should be prepared,
we should be prepared to receive
probably the numbers that
we have seen in 2015 again.
This extraordinary event
that has unfolded
has also impacted Europe
in many ways.
We are here, right now,
on Lesvos Island.
This is the point where
half a million people,
most of them refugees,
set foot and entered Europe.
An... An extraordinary way that
people have been coming through.
And just the last year alone,
over one million have come
to Europe through
the Mediterranean Sea.
And although these are movements
we haven't seen in decades...
In fact, it hasn't been since
that so many had fled
and come to Europe...
It's still something
that we need to consider
in the global context
with so many millions
that are actually displaced.

[Bouckaert] The situation
in the camp is bad,
because the borders
are all closed now.
First, the Macedonian border
was closed.
Then the Slovenian and Croatian
and Serbian borders were closed.
So there is no way
on their journey
to try to get to Germany.
They're now trapped here.
There is about 13,000
people in this camp.
Most of them are from Syria,
Iraq and Afghanistan.
They are fleeing from war.
Uh, I talked to people
who just fled from the bombs
just a few weeks ago.
And they're trapped.
It's been raining since Monday.
Everybody is completely wet.
They have no way
to dry their clothes.
Um, just to get a little bit
of food sometimes...
It takes two hours
to get one cup of soup.
So it really is
a desperate situation.

[Bouckaert]
last year more than
a million people
walked their way to Europe.
This is the gate
that they pass through
going first through Macedonia,
then to Serbia,
then through Croatia.
A million people
walked through this gate.

How long are you on duty today?

Europe is an interesting case,
because Europe of course
is the continent
where the refugee convention
was born.
This was one of the essential,
crucial initiatives
that came out
and of the horrors of the war.
Initially, the focus
was very much on Europe.
It's interesting that
