border with Greece.
Just 20km away in Idonemi, Greece, there is an NGO-run camp with
heated shelter and other basic services – yet the Greek police are
denying them access.
The camp is nowhere near full – it’s currently operating at less than a third of its capacity.
With temperatures dropping below zero – this is simply not

denied access to the warmth, food and safety of Idomeni camp.
The women, men and children arriving at Idomeni are in desperate need of humanitarian and medical help.
