These migrants from Pakistan left their countries to look for financial opportunities and better education.

Migrants like this young man,“We have many problems in our country.

We are going to Europe for a better future.

A lot of guys, they want to go for study for a better life.

Because somebody don't have money,they can't lose study.

While many came to Turkey with the intention of continuing their journey to richer European nations like Germany and France, some wanted to remain in Turkey to work.

But in a few months' time, they have found they cannot achieve the economic prosperity they had hoped for.

“In Turkey, money is the problem.

The country and the people are good, but I cannot make enough money here.

I have five kids, and I have to go somewhere like Italy or Greece to earn a living for my family.”

The migrants wait to hear from agents who have promised to take them to Greece by sea.

A trip will cost each person roughly 1,200.

While the Turkish government has increased safety measures to avoid boat tragedies, the journey is still not risk-free.

Many of these migrants are accompanied by small children as they seek to embark on a potentially perilous journey with an uncertain future.
