25 November 2022

Asylum seekers crossing the highway as they begin their trip to Europe at the famous Balkan Route, a refugee path to Central Europe, famous for the huge flows in 2015 and 2016. Refugees and migrants as seen near Idomeni and Evzoni border crossing, a few meters before the borderline between Greece and Northern Macedonia. The group claims to be from Syria. Refugees come at the borders on foot walking, for resting and sleeping and then continuing their trip. They live in the forest or near the river or in abandoned buildings, then 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 around 2500 euro to move them from Turkey here. The specific group paid 3000 euro to smugglers. 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 groups at the borders were from Afghanistan, some from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, Pakistan, and Morocco. The flows of people arriving from Turkey are increasing every day as the refugee and migrant crisis is still ongoing, a real humanitarian crisis. Eidomeni, Greece on November 2022

Group of three young asylum seekers walking up to a hill as they return from their attempt to cross the borders. Asylum Seekers are trying to cross the Greek-North Macedonian borders to follow the Balkan Route, famous in 2015-2016 during the Syrian refugee crisis, from Idomeni, Greece to Gevgelija, North Macedonia following the train rails and railway station and then reach central and northern Europe. Refugees and Migrants are seen walking in the fields in the Greek side, before the fence that separates the two countries, trying to reach and pass the borders. The small groups are mostly male dominated from Afghanistan, newcomers who began their trip after the Taliban takeover of the country. Among them people from Syria, Pakistan and Iran have been spotted. Asylum seekers claimed that they crossed the border into N. Macedonia but police captured them, beat them and deported them back to Greece, an illegal push back action as they claim. Idomeni, Greece on October 6, 2021
