"Friday morning, a walk to MSF’s clinic to meet a few people and check about the situation, as usual. A young man approaches. Here, in the Bosnian border town of Velika Kladuša, we are used to seeing sadness in the eyes, despair and disbelief regarding the situation of people on-the-move. But one could immediately feel the man had been suffering something “unusual.”
His empty look, as if he were dead inside and had lost all kind of hope and faith, spoke volumes about his physical and mental state. He started to tell us what had happened to him the day before, on Thursday, November 1st, 2019, in Velika Kladuša."
