Date: 16/05/2017

The Red Cross has a weekend event called "On the Run." For 100 Euros, people can go and experience what it is like to be a refugee for 24 hours. In this video, German journalist Sebastian Meinberg pretends to be a 25-year-old Somali woman fleeing from a civil war. He and his family rest at a refugee camp, but are constantly interrupted by well-meaning doctors and aid workers, and cannot get any sleep. The war sirens sound and he and his family have to run again. They are harassed by the soldiers at the Jordan border, and they have to give up their jewelry as bribe material. When they reach the Hungarian border, they are rejected over and over. Sebastian says he is in a constant state of fear.

Puls is a public Bavarian German radio and Youtube TV program.
