Migrants and refugees, including many families with small children, were stranded in the refugee camp in Idomeni, near the Greek-Macedonian border, on Saturday. Officials from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) were on hand to help coordinate provision of supplies within the camp.
Due to the border closures, the official refugee camp in Idomeni cannot house all the people who are now stranded in northern Greece. Overcrowding is a real problem in the camp as more people attempt to arrive.
The UNHCR are making strides in providing accommodation for Greece's 20,000 asylum seekers. However, in a press release on Tuesday, they urged European nations to do more. The organistion argues that a "comprehensive, coordinated strategy built on shared responsibility, solidarity and trust among all European States" is the only way to approach the continent's refugee crisis.
