A Syrian refugee who was a sportsman
before losing part of his leg in a bombing has carried the Olympic
flame through an Athens refugee camp.
The 27-year-old electrician used to swim and do judo competitively in Syria.
He is among more than one million migrants to have entered the EU, crossing to Greece by inflatable boat.
Ibrahim al-Hussein now has a prosthetic leg, works in an Athens cafe and plays wheelchair basketball
