My piece for AlJazeera on the refugee mothers who risk it all to take their babies to safety:
"It’s better to walk for 15 days than to be killed by a bomb."
I spent a few hours with them last week in Munich. First at the station, then at their emergency shelter, then in a vast, dark industrial park as the group of fourteen adults, two infants and a toddler tried to figure out what to do next. They'd banded together along the route, forming a sort of baby trek as they were the slowest and weakest on the trail. The two young mothers were still breastfeeding their infants, 2 months and 3 months old respectively...
I asked them how they even washed the babies along the way, you can read the reply in the piece.
