EPA ARCHIVE: EUROPEAN MIGRANT CRISIS 2015

European refugee crisis 2015

epa12347931 (FILE) - A picture taken from a drone shows the stranded migrants at the border station between Serbia and Hungary near Horgos, northern Serbia, taken from the Hungarian side near Rozske, Hungary, 16 September 2015 (reissued 03 September 2025). The 2015 European migrant crisis refers to a large-scale arrival of refugees and migrants, especially from the Middle East, to Europe. The crisis reached a peak in terms of public visibility, humanitarian challenges and political responses early September: 1 September, thousands of refugees were stranded at the Budapest’s Keleti railway station; 2 September, the photo of two-years old Alan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach became a powerful symbol of the crisis; 05 September, Germany and Austria jointly allowed refuges to cross their borders and apply for asylum. Angela Merkel’s decision to allow refugees into Germany marked a significant turning point, temporarily waiving the European Dublin Regulation. Her famous statement, "We can do this" (Wir schaffen das), is directly tied to this moment. EPA/ISTVAN RUZSA HUNGARY OUTHUNGARY OUT *** Local Caption *** 52217334
