About 6,000 identified immigrants and refugees are currently on the islands of northern Aegean, according to police authorities, while in Piraeus about 1,300 people are currently staying at terminals, since many people have left or transferred to temporary camps in the wider region.

Meanwhile, more than 7,000 people are waiting in Idomeni to cross the border.

On Tuesday noon immigrants and refugees gathered near the fence raised by FYROM authorities to prevent refugees from entering the country shouting to open the borders and allow them to pass.

Only 30 people managed to pass the border on Monday before FYROM closed the buffer zone following yesterday’s incidents.
