According to official data there are as many as 4,500 migrants in government-operated camps in Serbia. Muhammad, 22 from the Moroccan town of Oujda, said he has tried to reach the EU 26 times. Bruno Alvares of the No Name Kitchen said migrants are given two meals a day, water, clothes, footwear and tents. Migrants who cannot afford to pay smugglers, often hide in passing trucks and freight trains or ride on the top of them. Recently an Afghan girl was killed by a train as she and her family attempted to cross into Croatia.
