Steve, prayers are Always needed and appreciated, thanks.
Many refugees are actually outward bound, usually to the Northern European countries, where they know there is less of an economic slump or where they have relatives.
I'm not directly affected by the refugees, since there are no gathering points near my place. A possible danger to public health though is that they are carrying diseases and parasites, but they usually receive medical care at the grounding places.
A main issue is that some countries like France are not allowing them to cross the border, so the immigrants are compelled to remain in Italy, this is a recent case, they are camping and sleeping upon the rocky shore at the France-Italy border. Actually, the Italian government offers shelters but many of'em prefer to stay and sleep on the rocks as a protest.
