Asylum seekers wait by the trainstop in Debrecen

MEE's Mary Atkinson is on the ground covering the refugee crisis in Austria. Here is her latest report:

It started to pour with rain in Debrecen, Hungary, but around 200 people are still expected to arrive at the station from the nearby migrant camp at around 2am local time.

"The government was forced to open the border today because the asylum seekers started to March," Aida tells me. "So they had to do something". It looks likely that the same situation will be replicated overnight tonight, with huge numbers of people heading for the capital in a bid to continue their journeys westwards by any means.

One of the volunteers, who lives in Debrecen, described how the Hungarian media have been covering the situation. "When the migrants started their March, they just wrote about how the people had left rubbish by the side of the road. People don't know about what is going on in Syria or Iraq. They only know what the government says, about the problems they say migrants bring. The other day I was helping the migrants down from the train and another passenger shouted at me that I am not Hungarian. I think he has a different idea of what it means to be Hungarian than I do. Anyway, I'm not here because I'm Hungarian. I'm here because I'm human."
