  • Paris main airport Charles de Gaulle applying social distancing rules and measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19. Some airports in Europe have reopened using a so called flying corridor allowing those countries in which the outbreak seems to be in control to flying again. Flights being unfrequent have additional stopovers and overlays. As the UK government announces a travel corridor with a number of countries, airports have reopened with a series of security and health measures. Nonetheless, scheduled flights have long stopovers and layovers to allow more passengers onto the them.

  • Skenderaj in Kosovo is the most destroyed area from the war. The war started in this region and it ended here. It has had the majority of numbers of civilian killings and some villages like Meje have no men left: there are only widows with their children.<br />
Nowadays, the situation of the widows looks even more perilous after international organisations are slowly moved from the Balkans. Some of the widows live in homes that were slowly being rebuilt with the aid of international aid organizations but now left half built. Many of the widows are still homeless. The luckier ones take shelter with relatives but many live in very devastating conditions: in tiny rooms with a little stove, mattress on the floor to sleep and to sit on.

  • The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.
