Europe's migrant crisis

The refugees’ camp has poor facilities: only few tents for the refugees. They are waiting that local police check their ID and their Greek permit to make a local new one for 72h. Refugees have 72h to leave Macedonia through the North and Serbia. During this time, they can have access to bathroom, water and food for all of them and medical assistance in case they need it. When everything is going all right, refugees can take a bus to go to Serbia, or a taxi or a train. Many Syrian refugees (between 1 500 and 3 000 persons) try o cross the border between Greece and FYRoM/Macedonia. On the greek side, the small village of Edomeni is the meeting point to cross the border. Many buses or trains full of refugees go there directly. On the Macedonian side, the town of Gevgelija has created a kind of camp to check ID of the refugees and to give them a permit to circulate 72hours in Macedonia. After this delay they are considering as illegal person. From the camp, where refugees can have some food, water and access to the toilet. The facilites are not so big. There are only tents small one and some roof to protect the refugees from the sun and the hot wave. From this camp, the refugees can take a taxi (more expensive way) or a bus or a train (only 2 per day) to travel inside Macedonia and to get down close the border of Serbia.Refugees are coming from Greece all the day and night.
