Migrants attempt to break through Greece-Macedonia border
Frustrated at the bottleneck at the Greek-Macedonian frontier, refugees have tried to rush the border fence. The camp at the border town of Idomeni is over its intended capacity by 5,000 people. Hundreds of migrants stormed the border fence to Macedonia in the Greek village of Idomeni on Monday morning, local media reported. “Free, free, we can pass,” the asylum seekers chanted, spurred by reports that after days of being stranded, Macedonia might open the fence and permit more people to pass through.
More protests this morning at #Idomeni – "open the border" call 1000s, many who have been waiting for days. pic.twitter.com/qLqXhTTF7c
