Asielzoekers

Mother with her son and daughter, from Iran seeking asylum in Austria, in a temporary family accommodation at Asfinag. The Asfinag centre is on the former site of a roadworks company, on the outskirts of Salzburg, a short distance from the border with Germany. Refugees and migrants arrive here directly by bus from the Slovenian border, brought by the Austrian authorities, and most will move on to Germany, and are accommodated in heated tents with camp beds and blankets. For those seeking asylum there are more permanent structures, with family groups separated from single males. Food is provided by volunteers three times a day. ; More than 643,000 refugees and migrants arrived in Europe via the Mediterranean sea this year, including 502,500 in Greece only. Many of the refugees and migrants are desperate to move quickly onwards to Western Europe, fearing that borders ahead of them will close. Although reception capacities have been stepped up the rising numbers has put the  Austrian reception system under strain. Many newcomers as well as transiting refugees and migrants are temporarily accommodated in sports- and music halls, former office buildings etc., with those wishing to stay waiting sometimes for weeks to get proper accommodation. With the winter approaching, aid has also been stepped up at the borders. At all border crossings where refugees are arriving or leaving – currently from Slovenia to Austria and from Austria to Germany – large heated tents which can hold up to a few thousand persons have been put up and NGOs, volunteers and authorities are providing basic services.
