In 2015, Europe attempted to find a lasting solution to the millions of people crowding at its borders because of the civil war in Syria.

A problem left unresolved led Turkey to relax its borders, opening the gates onto Europe’s doorstep.

So, what are the challenges? And can they reach a balance that works for those making the often-hazardous journey to Europe?
