Syrian refugee chronicles daily struggles in Greece

Syrian refugee chronicles daily struggles in Greece

Basil Yatakan is a former chef from Damascus.

As a refugee in Greece, he is trying out a new career - as a journalist.

He is chronicling the daily struggles of his fellow refugees from the Middle East and curates his films, which are shot on a mobile phone, on Facebook under the banner refugees.tv.

It has become a vehicle for other refugees to vent their anger at their poor living conditions.

Al Jazeera’s Laurence Lee reports from the Nea Kavala camp.
