Migrants breakdown Macedonia fence on Greek border 2016
A group of migrants has divided a barbed-cable fence on the Macedonia-Greece border by using a metal pole as a battering ram.
Television footage showed migrants pressing against the fence at Idomeni, ripping aside barbed cable, as Macedonian police permit off tear gas to induce them away.A portion of fence was smashed open up with the battering ram. It isn't apparent whether any migrants acquired through.
A lot of those trying to attain northern Europe happen to be Iraqi and Syrian refugees.
About 6,500 persons are trapped on the Greek part of the border, as Macedonia can be letting hardly any in. Many have already been camping in squalid circumstances for a complete week or more, with little food or medical support.
On Mon erupted at a gate festooned with barbed cable the chaos, keeping migrants from a railway line.
The protesters shouted "Open the border!" and threw stones at Macedonian law enforcement, who responded by firing rounds of tear gas to avoid them from having through.
Macedonia and some different Balkan countries include erected fences so that they can decrease the influx of migrants, after greater than a million reached Germany this past year.
Greece can be angry with Austria for having imposed a cap on migrant quantities. The crisis has still left Greece shouldering a lot of the burden of casing migrants arriving in the EU from Turkey.
Most are refugees fleeing war in the centre East, while some are escaping human privileges abuses in Afghanistan, Eritrea and various other conflict zones.
