[Applause]
everybody go back behind
[Music]
police we're at the Greek border with
Macedonia where a humanitarian crisis is
unfolding because of Europe's failure to
come up with a common migration policy
for how to tackle the refugee
crisis the other week Austria acted
independently and decided to cap the
amount of people allowed to enter its
borders and they're only accepting 80
Asylum Seekers a day this has caused a
ripple effect all along the route from
Greece to Germany with more and more
countries clamping down on their borders
creating this bottleneck here at this
border crossing with more than 10,000
people stuck and there are more and more
people arriving by the
hour here will be a human crisis the
Nations need to open the borders that's
it we don't have money children are sick
it's freezing I didn't expect to see
this I expect to just cross like a human
being I came here thinking that they are
the nation of humanity but I've been
shocked really I've been shocked
[Applause]
leaving us like this like animals not
like human beings I just don't want to
think that I will be stay staying here
for another
day this was only supposed to be a
Transit Camp very quickly in a week uh
10 city has popped up the camp is 10
times over its capacity so the situation
is pretty chaotic and there are a lot of
women and
children no one no one please please go
back go back this border the police they
looking for any small things to tell him
okay we cannot
go everybody
back everybody go back behind
so you risk your life going from mul in
Iraq to Raq in Syria and then all across
Syria into
turkey very very s in here a lot of
countries they stop the refugee and
close all the borders so what we can do
we stay here we make a small town what
is the feeling for you to sudden be
stuck here and not know what the future
is we don't know it's very very bad
feeling and you can see these children
he don't know anything about the future
we don't have any place to
go okay so this is the checkpoint where
before the restrictions up until last
week you'd see sometimes a thousand
people cross every day but now only a
couple of hundred at most if any and
people are just sitting waiting around
they have no idea what's going on
frustration is
growing a few days ago there was a
protest here people broke down the
Gateway and the Macedonian police
answered with tear gas
[Applause]
this is a police Center every guys come
to here the first thing they must to do
they stamp the papers and take a number
sometimes the police tell him today we
just do it for 100 200 come tomorrow to
because we have about 10,000
people are there a lot of fights like
this yeah I think it's normal anything
happen all the people when they have
stress because they stay here a long
time and they don't know anything about
the
future so the hundreds of people have
been queuing for food for up to 2 hours
are having to leave now because the food
is
finished our teams what they do today is
a miracle we don't have enough shelter
our Clinic is completely overwhelmed and
we try to feed these people 10,000
people it means 30,000 meals per day but
of course it's not enough not at all we
have still around 2,000 3,000 people
arriving in the Greek Islands per day we
have more and more dead people in the
aan sea more than 400 since the
beginning of the year in two weeks or 3
weeks if there is no decision taken we
will have more than 60,000 people or
perhaps 100,000 people here in Greece
trapped without any assistance we need a
plan to help gree but it's not at the
level of the NOS it's at the level of
the states of Europe
so it's almost like a little town people
are just accepting the fact that they're
stuck here for a while here's a guy
who's running a barber shop in a camp
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
this is our new home maybe tempor maybe
forever we don't know we don't like to
go back to Syria and die this is our
time we stay
inside how long have you been here in
the camp from I think 5 days 5 days we
have suffering here it's a lot of cold
at night we could be like this people
last night it's very C right here we
find set you for 5 days it's like 5
years we were already in hell we got out
of hell I don't like to see another
her some countries in the EU still
thinking the terms of whether or not
they want refugees and right now it's
countries like Italy and Greece that
have to bear the brunt of the crisis
last year almost a million people
entered Greece and Greece is country in
deep financial crisis this it's a really
difficult situation and many think that
this could come to the point where it
makes or breaks the Union
