For weeks, Macedonia has blocked passage into its territory for thousands of mainly Middle Eastern refugees seeking entry into Europe.
The Macedonian government has said they cannot take the strain, echoing statements made by other European politicians. “The migrant crisis threatens Europe’s soul,” says the Italian foreign Minister. But what about the refugees themselves?
In this edition of Infocus, we journey with the refugees from Macedonia through Serbia.
Originally, mostly from Syria, they are fleeing war largely fuelled by the West and are trying to reach Hungary, an EU member. We find out how hard life is on the road, often with the sick and with children: this migration is of epic proportions.
