That attitude partly explains why the government hinders migrants' access to even the most basic tech at the Horgos camp. Shah says efforts to bring electricity, more solar chargers and showers are waiting for a "green light" from Hungarian officials and Serbia's Commissariat for Refugees. "I don't know who has the say about this, why you cannot have these things here," he tells us in a measured tone. "Only I hear they are not allowing to do this here, because this place is not the camp. It's a border."Orbán's cabinet office didn't directly address claims it was holding back improvements. But it did say, in a statement, that the government provides food packages every day to people staying outside its transit zones and gives financial aid to charities that help "crisis situations" at the border.
Refugees take advantage of Info Park's free power strips to charge their phones and the area's free Wi-Fi to watch videos, Behind the station we find about 500 refugees, mostly single men, They roll out blankets or scavenged cardboard as cushions against the hard dirt and concrete, and hang their clothes to dry on rope stretched between poles, Unlike Horgos, there are no tents or public sanitation, aside from an attendant-manned toilet at the bus strongfit case for apple iphone xr - rose gold/black station, which costs 50 dinar (45 cents) for each use..
But there's free Wi-Fi from Telenor, which the men can log onto to watch YouTube videos or check Facebook while they wait for dinner to be distributed at Info Park, an aid center within Bristol Park that opened the day Hungary fenced its border. The first 270 in line get a meal -- penne with tomato sauce and a salad of lettuce and tomato was served the night we visited -- promptly at 5:30 p.m. That evening, about a dozen refugees plugged their phones into power strips connected to Info Park's office in a no-frills wooden cabin.

Still, desperate refugees won't risk missing an opportunity to cross the border if there's the slightest chance the rumors are true. "Before we could do a lot more for them," Irena Vari, a recent college grad who volunteers at Info Park, tells us. A child of refugees herself from the Bosnian war in the 1990s, Vari majored in Arabic at Belgrade University, never imagining how useful it would become. "We could provide them with clothes, shoes, food and put them on a train, and we knew that in a few hours they were going to cross the border and they're going to go their way," the 22-year-old says, closing up shop at Info Park as daylight fades. "But now there's not much we can do. They're left with smugglers. They're stuck. They're frustrated. We don't know what to advise them."It's a different world, a year after the big surge of refugees arrived in Europe seeking shelter. Some of the apps and other tech that worked last September aren't relevant today.
