LIVE BLOG: Refugee crisis in Europe - update 6th September 2015

MEE's Mary Atkinson reports:

Just 10km outside of Debrecen resides the local migrant camp, one of the largest in the country.

Sited in a Soviet-era army barracks, the camp should house around 800 people. However, sources say upwards of 2000 people have been crammed in at a time as facilities in Hungary come under unprecedented pressure.

Journalists are not allowed into the site, and even the local volunteers are denied access.
