Since March 2016 the EU-Turkey Refugee deal has made it harder for migrants to reach Europe from Turkey through the Greek Islands, as thousands of refugees who had fled Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq were now effectively "trapped" in Turkey. Two months after the agreement was signed, Newsha Tavakolian photographed Afghan refugees in Istanbul who feel they are the "forgotten ones" of the EU-Turkey deal. The future of these refugees in Turkey is unclear, as they stand in the middle of a geopolitical confrontation between Turkish President Erdogan and the EU.
