Abraham and Zachary, 2, are from Al-Hasakah and came to Serbia after sailing to Greece on a rubber dinghy "death boat" from Turkey.
Abraham brought Zachary to a medical clinic in Belgrade because he had a bad cough. The doctor said Zachary has a virus that is becoming increasingly common among refugee children.
