MORAHALOM, Hungary, Ramadan 29, 1436, July 16, 2015, SPA -- A fence on Hungary's border with Serbia to stem the flow of migrants and refugees will be complete by Nov. 30, the Hungarian defense minister said Thursday, according to AP. Csaba Hende said that 900 people would work to install the fence, which is planned to be 4 meters (13 feet) high along the 175-kilometer (109-mile) border between Hungary and Serbia. "The Hungarian defense force is ready to complete this task," Hende said on the outskirts of the southern town of Morahalom, where a sample section of the fence is being built. Interior Minister Sandor Pinter said inmates in Hungarians prisons were assembling the basic elements of the fence and that people in the public employment program could also carry out some of the construction tasks, if needed. Pinter said the fence is temporary but the only immediate solution Hungary could find to stop the flow of people. Some 81,300 reportedly entered the country illegally this year. --SPA 15:21 LOCAL TIME 12:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
