   While the lifeless body of young Allan Kurdi may have given a face to
   the refugee crisis currently gripping Europe, CBC foreign
   correspondents Margaret Evans and Nahlah Ayed are giving it a voice.

   Many refugees have shared their stories with Evans and Ayed, who
   have been on the front lines of this humanitarian crisis — which
   continues to present new challenges and tragedies each day.

   Yesterday, at least 34 asylum-seekers — many of them children — drowned
   when the wooden boat carrying them from Turkey to Greece capsized. Also
   this weekend, a record number of refugees reached Hungary's border with
   Serbia just as the government prepared to seal it off. And Germany said
   it would implement temporary controls along its Austrian frontier to
   reduce the flow of new arrivals.

   Margaret Evans has been reporting from Athens and the island of Lesbos
   in Greece. We reached her in Athens.

   And Nahlah Ayed sent back stories last week from along the border
   between Hungary and Serbia, as well as Austria and Germany. She
   joined us from our studio in London, England.
