At sunset on Saturday evening, witnesses saw a group of about 70 people entering Macedonia from Greece, on the part of the border that is not covered with barbed wire. They were hiding behind the trees from Macedonian police.
It was 20 kilometers, or 4 hours walk from Idomeni, tent settlement for thousands of migrants and refugees who stayed there after the closure of the Balkan route in February.
The other people in the camp are thinking about options on how to leave Idomeni and find the weak border points to enter the Balkans, the most desirable route to Western Europe.
“There is no other choice,” said Moutaz, a Syrian from Aleppo. “Put yourself in my position, what would you do if you would live like this,” he said.
Organizations for Human Rights say that the living conditions in Idomeni are terrible.
Millions of migrants escaping from the conflict in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan from the Middle East, Asia and Africa came last year to Europe through Greece.
More than 10,200 people is located in Idomeni, and the Greek authorities are planning to transfer them to reception centers in other parts of the country, according to 24sata.
