depression and confusion

while I was visiting the oasis team a refugee had heard a week earlier that his parents were injured in a bomb attack. His house was destroyed. then during my visit he received word from the Austrian officials that he was denied asylum to stay in Austria, and he would be deported. That afternoon, he laid down on the tracks directly below these oasis windows. A friend picked him up and held him until the police arrived. He was not injured, but he is extremely confused. Austria will deport him only to greece which is where he was before coming to Austria. He would rather go back to his country, but he also has nothing there.
The following day, he came to the oasis, where he knows several teammates. we served tea and prayed for him. we have prayed often for him.
