That's what witnesses said, after journalists and representatives of humanitarian organizations were denied access to the area. Only representatives of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees were admitted.

Hundreds of migrants occupy the tracks Monday, to force opening of the border. Macedonia only leave since the weekend still Iraqis and Syrians who wish to travel from Greece to the northwest of Europe, provided they have the required documents. They are mainly Afghans who are stuck with the new measure at the border.

Meanwhile, the migrants keep coming from Turkey. Ferries put again on Tuesday morning in 1250 migrants from three Greek islands off in Piraeus near Athens. Some had tickets for the bus to Idomeni, but it is unclear whether they can travel to the north.
