Ukuvakashela Amakamu Ababaleki E-Athene Nezikhungo EJalimane

Ngu-Ann Wright

Ithimba lethu elincane labantu abathathu elivela ku-CODEPINK: Abesifazane Bokuthula (uLeslie Harris waseDallas, TX, uBarbara Briggs-Letson waseSebastopol, CA kanye no-Ann Wright wase-Honolulu, HI) baya eGreece ukuyovolontiya emakamu ababaleki. Sachitha usuku lwethu lokuqala e-Athens ekamu lababaleki ezikhumulweni zemikhumbi zasePiraeus ezaziwa ngokuthi i-E1 ne-E1.5 ezikhumulweni zemikhumbi lapho atholakala khona-kude nezinkamba ezimatasa kakhulu lapho izikebhe zithatha khona abahambi zibayise eziqhingini zaseGreece. . Ikamu i-E2 ebibambe abantu abangu-500 ivaliwe ngempelasonto futhi abantu abangu-500 kuleyo ndawo bathuthele eCamp E1.5.

Ikamu liye laba sezikhumulweni zePiraeus izinyanga ezimbalwa lapho izikebhe ziqala ukuthutha ababaleki eziqhingini ezisogwini lwaseTurkey zibayisa e-Athens. Izikebhe eziningi zafika ezikhumulweni zemikhumbi ebusuku futhi abahambi babengenandawo yokuya ngakho bavele bamisa izikebhe ezikhungweni. Kancane kancane, iziphathimandla zaseGreece zaqoka izinsimbi ze-E1 ne-E2 zamakamu ababaleki. Kodwa, njengoba kufika inkathi yezivakashi, iziphathimandla zifuna indawo yokwanda kwebhizinisi lezivakashi.

Amahemuhemu athi womabili amakamu asele angaba ngu-2500 azovalwa kule mpelasonto futhi wonke umuntu athuthele ekamu eScaramonga elakhiwe cishe imizuzu engu-15 ngaphandle kwase-Athens.

Abanye bababaleki bashiye izizinda zasePiraeus beyobheka ezinye izikhungo zababaleki, kodwa babuyele ezikhumulweni njengoba ukhonkolo esikhundleni sobubhuqu phansi, umoya ohelezayo wasolwandle kanye nokungena kalula kwedolobha lase-Athens ngezithuthi zomphakathi kubonwa njengokungcono kunokuba ungene. ikamu elisemthethweni endaweni engayodwa enemithetho eqinile yokungena nokuphuma.

BesisePiraeus izolo usuku lonke sisiza endaweni yokugcina izimpahla futhi sikhuluma nababaleki njengoba belinde emigqeni—izindlu zangasese, amashawa, ukudla, izingubo zokugqoka—olayini banoma yini nanoma yini—futhi bemenywa ukuba bahlale ngaphakathi kwamatende omkhaya ukuze baxoxe. Sahlangana namaSyria, ama-Iraqi, ama-Afghan, ama-Irani namaPakistani.

Amakamu okudoba awahlelekile, awawona amakamu ababaleki asebenza yinoma yiliphi iqembu elilodwa. Kepha uhulumeni waseGreece usiza ngezinye zezinto ezifana nezindlu zangasese nokudla. Kubonakala sengathi akekho umqondisi wekamu noma umxhumanisi omaphakathi kodwa wonke umuntu ubonakala ekwazi ukugaya ukudla kwansuku zonke, amanzi, ama-tiolets. Ukubhaliswa kwababaleki ngekusasa labo kuyinqubo esingakaze siyicabange, kodwa abaningi esikhulume nabo sebehlale e-Athens isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinyanga ezi-2 futhi abafuni ukuyiswa endaweni esemthethweni lapho bezoba nenkululeko encane kanye nokufinyelela endaweni. imiphakathi.

Izindlu zangasese zimapeketwane, imigqa emide yokugeza enemizuzu eyi-10 yokuthi omama bageze izingane. Iningi lihlala ematendeni amancane anemikhaya emikhulu ehlanganisa amatende amaningana ukuze akhe “igumbi lokuhlala” namagumbi okulala. Izingane zigijima endaweni yonke ngamathoyizi amancane. I-NGO yase-Norwegian "A drop In the Ocean" inendawo ngaphansi kwetende yokuhlinzeka ngendawo yobuciko, imibala nemidwebo yezingane. I-NGO yaseSpain inetiye elishisayo namanzi atholakala amahora angama-24 ngosuku. Indawo yokugcina izimpahla ipakishwe ngamabhokisi ezingubo ezisetshenzisiwe okumele zihlungwe zibe yizinqwaba eziphusile ukuze zisakazwe. Njengoba ingekho imishini yokuwasha izingubo, abanye besifazane bazama ukuwasha izingubo emabhakedeni futhi baphanyeke izingubo emigqeni, kuyilapho abanye bathole ukuthi ukulahla izingubo ezingcolile nokuthola “ezintsha” endaweni yokugcina impahla kuyindlela ephumelela kakhulu yokuhlala uhlanzekile. I-UNHCR ihlinzeka ngezingubo zokulala ezisetshenziswa njengokhaphethi ematendeni.

Sahlangana namavolontiya aphesheya avela eSpain, Netherlands, US, France kanye namavolontiya amaningi aseGreece. Amavolontiya abelokhu ekhona isikhathi eside adlulisa umkhuba kwabasanda kungena. Isistimu yangaphambilini yokuqondisa kwansuku zonke yamavolontiya amasha ayikakasungulwa kusukela ikamu E2 yavalwa.

Izindawo okuhlalwa kuzo amatende zihlanzeke ngendlela emangalisayo uma kubhekwa ukuthi abantu banesikhathi esingakanani belapho. Umoya wokungenisa izihambi wababaleki kulabo abeze ekamu ngobumbano uyajabulisa. Samenyelwa emzini wamatende amathathu womkhaya ovela e-Iraq. Banezingane ezinhlanu, amantombazane angu-4 nomfana oyedwa. Babesanda kuletha ematendeni abo isidlo sasemini esilungiselelwe 3pm, isidlo sasemini sesitshulu esishisayo, isinkwa, ushizi kanye newolintshi. Babehlalise wonke umkhaya ukuze uthole ukudla okuhleliwe ngokungangabazeki ukuze kukhumbuze izingane zasekhaya.

Ngokwesiko elivamile laseMpumalanga Ephakathi kubantu esingabazi, basicela ukuba singene etendeni futhi bacela ukudla nathi ukudla kwabo. Sahlala saxoxa bedla. Ubaba owabonakala eneminyaka engaba ngu-40 usokhemisi kanti umama unguthisha wesi-Arabhu. Ubaba uthe kufanele akhiphe umndeni wakhe e-Iraq ngoba uma ebulawa njengabangane bakhe abaningi, umkakhe ubezowunakekela kanjani umndeni?

Esikhungweni sababaleki esisivakashele eMunich, eJalimane, sathola umoya wokungenisa izihambi ofanayo. Lesi sakhiwo siyisakhiwo esishiywe yinhlangano ye-Siemens. Abantu abangama-800 bahlala esakhiweni esinezitezi ezi-5. Ababaleki abangu-21,000 basezikhungweni ezihlukahlukene eMunich. Umkhaya waseSyria onabantwana abayisithupha weza ephasishi uzosinika izingcezu zemifino eluhlaza futhi omunye umkhaya wase-Armenia wasipha uswidi. Umoya wokungenisa izihambi waseMpumalanga Ephakathi uyaqhubeka nemindeni njengoba ihamba ngaphansi kwezimo ezinzima ngokungavamile iya kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba.

E-Berlin, siye endaweni yababaleki e-Templehof Airport lapho ama-hangers aphendulwe indawo yokuhlala yabantu abangu-4,000. Izikhungo zababaleki eBerlin naseMunich zisetshenziswa izinkampani ezizimele kunalokho uhulumeni waseJalimane ngqo. Isifunda ngasinye saseJalimane sinikezwe izabelo zezinombolo zababaleki okufanele zibaphathe futhi isifunda ngasinye senze izindinganiso zaso zosizo.

Ngenkathi i-United States ivale imingcele yayo kumuntu obalekela isiphithiphithi esibangelwe yimpi yayo e-Iraq, amazwe aseYurophu abhekana nenkinga yabantu ngokusemandleni abo—hhayi ngokuphelele, kodwa ngokuqinisekile ngobuntu obuningi kunohulumeni wezwe. Iziwe Ezihlangene.
