On this week’s show, we have a variety of interesting stories from the Mediterranean and North Africa.

We begin with a long listen to an engrossing report about how mass emigration has affected Croatia. The Balkan country is no stranger to emigration, but joining the EU triggered a new wave of Croatians leaving in search of a better life. Croatia’s population has dropped by roughly 10% in the time since. DW’s Jennifer Collins traveled to Croatia to find out more.

Plus, how did a medical student from Italy end up on an academic exchange in the Gaza Strip? And then the focus of a documentary film? Reporter Dany Mitzman has more.

And finally, a mouthwatering visit to a Jewish bakery in Morocco.
