Our Near-Death Sub-Zero Border Crossing

Available for over a year

On the 24th December 2016, a freezing storm hit Canada. Caught up in the middle of it were two Ghanaian men Seidu and Razak, who were at the border, trying to enter the country undetected to seek asylum. They were stricken with frostbite and battling for their lives. They tell Outlook how they survived their perilous journey. (L) Seidu Mohammed and (R) Razak Iyal
