In abandoned warehouses in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, many unaccompanied refugee minors mostly from Afghanistan and Pakistan spent several months sleeping on the ground, warming themselves by fires, showering with cold water and eating meals distributed by aid groups.

They made their way to Europe in search of better futures, but they have been stuck in Serbia, unable to cross the heavily guarded borders of neighbouring EU nations Croatia and Hungary. Muhammed Muheisen spent months documenting the daily life and the challenges they face. “Young and Stranded” was published world-wide in National Geographic magazine: “Thousands of Unaccompanied Refugee Children are Stuck in Serbia”.
