Refugees crisis Greece: The exodus

A boys stand by a gate at the Greek Macedonian borders, near the village of Idomeni on March 14, 2016, where thousands of refugees and migrants are stranded. European Unions leaders held a summit with Turkey's prime minister on March 7 in order to back closing the Balkans migrant route and urge Ankara to accept deportations of large numbers of economic migrants from overstretched Greece. More than one million refugees and migrants have arrived in Europe since the start of 2015 -- the majority fleeing the war in Syria -- with nearly 4,000 dying while crossing the Mediterranean.
