Claviere is the town on the Italian-French border where many migrants try to cross the border in any way to reach France or northern Europe. This is the destination of their journey which began in the desert, then by sea and various routes on foot. Currently the crossing at Ventimiglia is armored by the security forces and the route has moved to these mountains where the already high numbers have risen dramatically to reach peaks of 60 – 80 rejected per day, with them also the rescue interventions and accidents. This last stretch of their journey is very difficult and dangerous. Especially in winter with low temperatures and snow that children are not used to, the risks of accidents increase drastically. Some don’t make it, others lose their limbs due to hypothermia. In addition to the risks linked to the cold, migrants often go high in the mountains or towards little-traveled paths to try to evade the checks of the Gendarmerie who patrol the routes day and night, often inside makeshift shelters camouflaged in the bush to take cover and be able to “jump” on migrants to identify them and reject them. The path for those who want to cross to France is very difficult and migrants use various tactics: some pass alone, some in a group, some wait for bad weather and some even decide to do everything at night with the lights off, even if they don’t know the paths. Practically walking blind for 8 hours in total darkness. The percentage of getting lost is very high and in case of emergencies the mountain rescue, managed by volunteers, takes at least 1 or 2 hours to reach them and rescue them. In the valley and in the nearby towns there are various organized organizations or independent citizens who take care of these kids, simply warning them of the risks or helping them by distributing jackets or snow boots, as some think of making the crossing in flip-flops. Others provide a hot meal or the mountain rescue number for any emergencies. The humanitarian will of some citizens to help them is limited by law, in fact they could be accused of aiding and abetting, so even simply stopping to talk to groups of kids on mountain paths could be risky.
