— -- The borders are tightening around European countries but that hasn't stopped desperate refugees and migrants from making the trek in the hopes of finding a safe place to re-start their lives.

Fences lined with barbed wire have been added around Hungary's borders and arrests are being made for anyone seen attempting an illegal border crossing.

ABC News' team is on the ground across the region, bringing live updates on the crisis as it unfolds -- and telling the stories of some of the thousands of people on their journeys to safety and struggles to get settled in a new home.
