Stung by accusations that the migrants were not walking, non-profits suddenly insisted that the refugees walk the 40 miles planned for the day. Like, you know, on their own feet.
Sadly, some of them were not fit enough and opted to ride a bus back home.
40 miles per day is pretty ambitious for people with cheap shoes. It can be done, but generally not by people who are not young and in very good shape.
ReplyDeleteI 100% agree. I think 15 miles a day is doable on a day-after-day basis. Even with that bogey there will be attrition.
