Europe's migrant crisis

Refugees crossed the border during the night. The path has no light. They walk until the refugees’ camp where the police check their ID and Permit to stay in Macedonia only 72h. Refugees should leave before the end of the permit otherwise they are considered like illegal and they can have trouble with the police. 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.
