A young boy looks through the fence of the migrant holding camp at the Hungarian border with Serbia on September 12, 2015 in Roszke, Hungary. Migrants are rushing to the border due to fears and rumors that the borders will soon close before the official closure of midnight on Monday. Since the beginning of 2015 the number of migrants using the so-called ‘Balkans route’ has exploded with migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey and then traveling on through Macedonia and Serbia before entering the EU via Hungary. The number of people leaving their homes in war torn countries such as Syria, marks the largest migration of people since World War II. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
