Paramedic shows the gesture of a heart to a little Syrian boy . He and his mother went a long way to be in a safe place. In Hungary in the village of Röszke on the border with Serbia, refugees mainly from Syria, but also from Afghanistan are transported by buses to other parts of Europe. Picture was taken 15 September 2015 when many European countries have decided to close the border because of the uncontrolled flow of refugees.
Tens of thousands of war-affected refugees seek a better life in Europe . Many European residents are concerned about the influx of immigrants with different traditions and what possible influence they can have on European culture . Probably the boy and the medic will never meet again but this positive moment will certainly remain in the boy’s memory. This shows that, among the many opponents of this migration , people can be found who selflessly prove willingness to help and give their heart to another person .
Refugees were gathering to get in the bus. It was just a moment when the paramedic wanted to say goodbye and made a hear shape symbol to the boy. This picture was taken at that moment few meters away from the bus.
