Europe's migrant crisis

Somewhere between Greece and FYRoM (Macedonia), Syrian refugees are walking in the dark to cross the border under strict surveillance of Greek and Macedonian authorities. They fled war and persecutions. They want to start a new life and build a new home in North of Europe (Germany, Sweden, France and UK) . 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.
