Rio gets taste of Eastern delight
Growing number of refugees shifting their sights to Brazil which has opened its doors
Syrian refugee Ahmad Ryad Hamada arrived in Brazil just six months ago, but his food stand has already taken Rio by storm and he is now gearing up for the Olympics.
Customers flock to buy his falafels, quibbeh (croquettes) and sfiha (Middle Eastern pizza) from a small table outside a cinema in Rio, Brazil's beachfront Carnival city; taxi drivers stop in the street to shout orders from their cabs.
