Hmm, I'm not sure that really encapsulates the situation, Creeky.
"Shelter" can be obtained in the first EU country reached. The block of flats in your example is not over the road. It is a long way away, and they have chosen to travel to knock on CD's door (in this example) because it is not simply shelter that they want. It is a whole new life, with housing and education and health care and pensions, for themselves and their children and any unborn offspring yet to come.
Again, I make no comment on whether this is reasonable or not. I simply point out the situation is more than a request for shelter from the danger.
Of course the situation is such that those who have fled from danger are looking for more than just a place of safety.
That strikes me as being perfectly reasonable.
