Watch: The Hungarian Border Village Helping Ukraine's Refugees
In the village of Beregsurány, on the Hungary-Ukraine border, a crowd of volunteers are tending to refugees flooding in, cooking them pancakes, and helping them to continue their journeys.

In contrast to the refugee crisis of 2015, the Hungarian media is celebrating those helping, and welcoming the new arrivals. John Domokos meets the villagers and displaced Ukrainians of all ages, who've suffered traumas, and are coming to terms with life never being the same again.
