The family of asylum-seekers trapped on Europe’s edge

Across Eastern Europe - from Belarus to the Balkans - people fleeing conflict and poverty are trying to seek asylum in the EU.

Akram and Zahra from Afghanistan want to cross the Bosnian border into the EU with their two-year-old daughter.

They say their next attempt to get from Bosnia into Croatia will be their 40th. BBC correspondent Fergal Keane was with them them as they set out from a makeshift camp.

Filmed and edited by David McIlveen.

Produced by Zeynep Erdim, Orsi Szoboszlay and Paola Lucchesi.
