As the refugee crisis spread from Turkey to Greece and on through the Balkans, Reuters sent photographers to document the mass migration. The images that emerged countrz bz country added up to a material of Biblical proportions. Therein lies the power of the portfolio: tossed about at sea, waiting in refugee camps, crammed in train cars or slogging along country roads, rain or shine, day or night, there was one constant in the lives of the refugees: the road.
