Migrants and refugees clash with Greek police

(7 Apr 2016) Scuffles broke out between migrants and police in the Idomeni refugee camp on the Greek-Macedonian border on Thursday, with about 40 people pushing police and demanding that the borders be opened. More than 11,000 people have been stranded in Idomeni, an impromptu camp on the border with Macedonia, for weeks after Europe closed its land borders to migrants and refugees last month. The protesters stood on railway tracks near the border fence calling for the border to open, shoving at Greek police who pushed back with shields. The railway line, used for freight traffic, has been blocked by protests since March 20. Young migrants and refugees also tried to destroy part of the fence that separates Greece and Macedonia. More than 53,000 people are stranded in Greece since the border closure.
