As a migrant crisis intensifies on Belarus's borders with the EU, some travelers from war-torn countries describe paying a high price for the unfulfilled promise of reaching Western Europe.

After an ordeal at two different borders, they were forced to pay traffickers once again to help them return home. (Video courtesy of Alhurra).
