Refugees in limbo on Greek-Macedonian border
  • 8 years ago
Life goes on at the Idomeni refugee camp on the border between Greece and Macedonia where refugees are in limbo following last week's EU-Turkey deal on curbing the influx of migrants. The UN refugee agency on Tuesday harshly criticized the deal saying reception centres had become "detention facilities", and suspended some activities in the country. The EU and Ankara struck a deal on Friday aiming to cut off the sea crossing from Turkey to the Greek islands that enabled 850,000 people to pour into Europe last year, many of them fleeing the brutal war in Syria.
