The makeshift refugee camp in Idomeni

Pictures from Idomeni on 29th of February in 2016. Idomeni is a little village in the Greek-FYROM (Macedonia) borders. About 10.000 refugees created a makeshift camp, as they couldn't continue to their trip to Europe due to the fence that was built from the other side. Military and police was deployed also there as FYROM asked for support. The result was more than 10.000 people, mostly families from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan staying in tents without any heating or electricity and passing the heavy winter of the area, (many days temperature was below 0°C) with the food distribution not being enough for everyone. There were some NGOs and UNHCR trying to help the situation. (Photo by Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto)
