While Europe ponders a convergence of individuals frantic to escape battling in Syria, haven seekers from Asian countries, for example, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Vietnam are running to Hong Kong, alongside a sprinkling from Africa.
In any case, human rights activists and non-government bodies blame commanding voices in the Chinese-ruled city of stalling on the endorsement of cases, to abstain from prodding a further flood.
Hong Kong has endorsed only 52 of more than 8,000 cases following 2009. There are more than 11,000 haven seekers in the Asian budgetary center point, some still unverifiable about their destiny in the wake of sitting tight for over 15 years.
"Our future is now gone, so we are thinking about our children's future," said Adjouma Ibrahim, director of the Refugee Union, who has been in Hong Kong for a long time.
"Our children are stateless. We don't have travel reports – nothing," he told Reuters.
Ibrahim is from Togo in west Africa, and his child and girl, in spite of both having been conceived in Hong Kong, are among the more than 580 displaced person kids prevented the privilege from securing homestead, it incomprehensible for youngsters to land positions or leave. The legislature of the previous British settlement pays 30 percent of the expenses for displaced person kids to go to class, yet few guardians can pay the rest, as they can't legitimately work while sitting tight for their status to be endorsed.

"One of the exceptionally negative parts of the framework here in Hong Kong is offspring of haven seekers and displaced people," said Mark Daly, a primary at law office Daly and Associates, which concentrates on human rights.
In spite of being conceived in Hong Kong and conversant in both English and the Cantonese provincial tongue, they are not permitted to work, Daly said.
"They are attempting to consider their prospects and pondering choices they shouldn't need to make - 'Where do I go, what do I do, what would I be able to fill in as?'" he included.
The displaced people have turned into a delicate subject for inhabitants and government officials, with media regularly censuring them for a spurt in wrongdoing.
Such depictions bolster preference, said Rizwan Ullah, an instructive guide of the Pakistani Students' Association in Hong Kong.
"These generalizations bring bias, and that brings separation," he said. "These folks are not offenders. They simply need a superior circumstance."
Legislators have pushed for more tightly controls after the legislature received a screening system in 2014 to choose those meeting the exile criteria set out in universal law.
"Hong Kong is an extremely helpful spot and our legislature has been exceptionally liberal to individuals who look for refuge," said Dominic Lee, a Liberal Party official.
"This gives a gigantic impetus to these fake displaced people to come to Hong Kong and take advantage," included Lee, who is requesting repatriation of evacuees and camps to house them.
The administration did not quickly react to a solicitation for input. In any case, in an authoritative report this year, it recognized the need to streamline the protracted screening process. In the course of recent years, it has dramatically increased the quantity of staff taking care of cases.
For Mohammad Kazi, a previous individual from the Bangladesh National Party, Hong Kong was the best place to get away from the threat he said his family had confronted at home.
He would like to settle in Hong Kong forever, in spite of house costs that rank among the world's most noteworthy, yet can't send his little girls, Shahzia, 5, and Samia, 6, to class.
"I need my youngsters to have a decent future. On the off chance that we go to Bangladesh, we bite the dust," included Kazi, 40, without giving points of interest of the danger. "Here we are as one, we are family."
