driven away from home by climate change and economic and political instability. from process the founding director, director of the mixed migration center, and he joins us now from the netherlands from thanks so much for your time. this wooden bowes has said, who have left kind of goal in early july. that is moving a month ago and i can't imagine what the conditions on it would like. do the people in bulking on this kind of journey know what the risks are and what is it that drives them to leave that homes in risk such as a dangerous journey? i mean, they the good evening that they know the risk, they know the risk try well and i think all over the world we see people taking incredible risk. so on different migration routes, this is one of them. and there are multiple drivers. people with a variety of very strong reasons to migrate. there is indeed increasing instability
