Last week Matthew Price spoke to Hamza, a teacher and mother from Homs who described their long journey from their hometown to Hungary. Matthew caught up with Hamza as she and her family reached Austria after walking from Hungary. "We were walking for about seven hours yesterday in the rain... it was horrible whenever we heard a car coming we had to hide, because we were afraid of the police," she said. Hamza and her family were told they could get a train to Germany via Vienna. "Today is my birthday and all my family are talking to me and crying because i far away from them," she continued.
