Hungary: New refugees arrive at makeshift Roszke camp

Hundreds of migrants and refugees arrived at a makeshift camp set up near the refugee internment camp of Roszke, after those who were camped nearby were taken there on Tuesday. The group now have to wait in an open field without any facilities, and are expected to be transported by bus to Roszke where their processing begins. Earlier in the morning scuffles were reported between Hungarian police and refugees, with at least one man injured as he attempted to escape authorities. The refugees, many of whom come from Syria, have been left stranded in Hungary after authorities cracked down on their onward passage to western Europe, closing train and bus stations and stepping up border patrols. The government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban has blamed other European countries for the crisis, in particular Germany which last month stated it would grant asylum seekers from Syria a special status. Several eastern European leaders have joined Orban in attempting to discourage migration routes through Europe while other European states including France and Germany have called for a mandate allowing large numbers of refugees to settle within the European Union, with member states sharing the responsibility.
