Refugees And Migrants At The Greek Borders

Refugees and migrants resting, sleeping and praying near, next to river as they are hiding from the authorities. Asylum seekers as seen near Idomeni boreder crossing, a few meters before the borderline between Greece and Northern Macedonia as seen walking, resting and sleeping. They live in the forest or near the river or in abandoned buildings, wait and form groups to cross the borders in the mountains and reach other European countries like Germany, France, Sweden etc via the Balkan route. Refugees and migrants arrive at the train station from Turkey directly or Thessaloniki after a long multi-day journey on foot following marked routes in social media or the train rails and highway but others via smugglers paying sometimes 2500 euro to move them from Turkey here. Some of them complained for pushbacks from the N. Macedonian police after treating them violently and beating them. The railway station and the fenced part of the borders were guarded by Greek police and European Frontex forces. Most of the group were from Afghanistan, some from Syria, Iraq, Palestine, Pakistan, and Morocco. The flows of people arriving from Turkey are increasing every day as the refugee and migrant crisis is still ongoing. Eidomeni, Greece on October 2022 (Photo by Nicolas Economou/NurPhoto)
