In Paris, refugees lined up before dawn in front of a humanitarian center in north Paris, hoping to get a place to sleep, an everyday scene in this chilly winter.

Refugees from Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan and other countries gather each day around the center in the evening, spending their night in the cold, hoping to be accepted in the morning.

Since the beginning of 2015, an uNPRecedented wave of refugees has come to Paris. As a result, train and subway stations in the city have become temporary refugee camps. Data in 2015 showed nearly 80,000 refugees asked for asylum in France, while only 26,700 got refugee status.

The entire Europe has grappled with the large influx of refugees since early 2014, the biggest wave of refugees the continent has received since World War II.

Despite the harsh reality, many refugees still expect Europe to bring them good luck and new life, a bitter-sweet wish yet to come true.
