Croatia: Police set up additional barriers outside Opatovac refugee camp

Croatian police set up new barriers and divided refugees into several lines in order to organise the entrance to Opatovac camp, Wednesday. Several refugees helped the police to carry the metal barriers. A few hundred new people arrived at the gates of Opatovac overnight; and many of them are still waiting to enter the camp. Police occasionally let small groups of people enter the camp. Aid workers are providing people with water and food, as well as blankets. A total of approximately 34,900 migrants have entered Croatia, 1,630 of whom have so far found shelter at the Opatovac camp. Officials estimate that a total of 5,000 refugees have headed to Opatovac in search of a roof over their heads. The largest influx of refugees and refugees is expected in the Tovarnik and Ilok areas
