Turmoil and incidents occurred at Greece-FYROM buffer zone in Idomeni when hundreds of refugees and immigrants, who were at the camp, were informed that FYROM would open the border for a while.

However, the information proved to be just rumors, but turmoil created since the people at the camp started packing their stuff and rushed to the border where they threw the fence down and attempted to enter the country.
