(AFP) A group of Syrian refugees in Turkey is planning to form a caravan to reach the European Union, organisers said Saturday.
Plans are being drawn up online via a Telegram channel, set up six days ago and followed by almost 70,000 people. Organisers are calling on people to bring sleeping bags, tents, life jackets, water, canned food and first aid kits.
“We will announce it when it’s time to go,” one organiser, a 46-year-old refugee who wished to remain anonymous, told AFP.
Some of the organisers already lived in the EU, he added.
Organisers say the caravan will be split into groups of up to 50 people, each led by a supervisor.
