IDOMENI, GREECE– Macedonian police fired teargas to disperse hundreds of migrants and refugees who stormed the border from Greece on Monday, tearing down a gate as frustrations boiled over at restrictions imposed on people moving through the Balkans.
A Reuters witness said Macedonian police fired several rounds of teargas into crowds who tore down the metal gate and onto a railway line where migrants had sat refusing to move, demanding to cross into the country.
