'Jumping a train in Calais was no big deal compared with the bombs in Syria'

Ali Mustafa relishes finally living in a safe place. After fleeing Syria and travelling through 10 different countries he reached the UK at the end of July. Mustafa, 37, an agricultural engineer, was interviewed by the Guardian in August, a week after he arrived in the UK and first claimed asylum.
His hazardous journey away from his family began in Lebanon, where his wife and their five young children moved to a modest apartment in Hassbia in the south. Once his family were safe and settled in their new accommodation, Mustafa embarked on his journey, determined to bring his loved ones over once he had settled in the UK and found work.
