Migrants and refugees injured at Idomeni

Tear gas was used near the Idomeni border crossing, where more than 11 thousand refugees and other migrants are camped out on the Greek side of the border.
Dozens of migrants and refugees were wounded on Sunday when FYROM police fired teargas and rubber bullets at crowds on the Greek side of the border.
Aid organisation Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said it had treated around 300 injured people.
More than 10,000 migrants and refugees have been stranded at the Greek border outpost of Idomeni since February after a cascade of border shutdowns across the Balkans closed off their route to central and western Europe.

Greece said police on the FYROM side of the frontier had used teargas, rubber bullets and stun grenades to push back the migrants. FYROM authorities would only confirm that they had used teargas.

“We urge the authorities of FYROM to comprehend the potential risks the use of violence against refugees and migrants entails,” said Kyritsis, referring to the official title of the neighbouring country, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
