What an ambitious painting - I am glad you decided to work on it. The image is powerful, but I would change a few things:
I would take out the head with the green head covering or move her up so her face can be seen. Who is carrying the container, whose hand is sticking out next to the girl in white? Clarify these elements or take them out. If they don't serve a purpose, they become only distracting from the overall feel of the event you are portraying.
Also, three of the figures seem to be smiling or content looking (old woman in back, old man in white T and young girl in center). Refugees worry about the uncertainties that await them and by showing some very worried and others content it sends a mixed message.
I hope I won't upset you with my critique, but I really think this could be even more powerful.
