How callous can you get?
More than five hundred Sudanese refugees have fled to Israel in the last two months to escape genocide in Darfur.
Now Israel is threatening to deport them.
Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros speaks to the refugees about their painful past and uncertain future.
'Route 10' is a section of the Egyptian-Israeli border that hundreds of Sudanese refugees have crossed with the hope of beginning a new life in Israel.
One of them, Akun, left Sudan after his mother and sister were raped and murdered in front of him.
"It was a difficult night. I crossed the border, all the mountains, and between the Israeli and Egyptian army," he said.
"It takes 3 hours ... I'm tired but I don't have a choice I do it because I want to save my life."
