In Spain, as many as 160,000 people took to the streets of Barcelona Saturday to demand the Spanish government admit more refugees. This is Meera Zaroor, a Syrian refugee living in Barcelona.
Meera Zaroor: “People could help us to forget the pain we feel because we miss our loved ones in Syria. Think of us as people, not as a crisis. We are not a crisis, and we didn’t come here to steal people’s houses or their jobs. We came here to live in a secure place, because Syria is not safe.”
