Refugees as they come through Greece on their way to northern EU countries

Afghan refugees checking the information on their permit to stay in Greece. Many are only given 48 hours and they are excluded from passing via certain provinces. When their permit doesn't allow them to pass via Kilkis province, they cannot board on the busses from Thessaloniki to Eidomeni border.
Refugees often arrive to Thessaloniki by train and then they go to the intercity bus station to board on the bus to Eidomeni border where they can cross to the Republic of Macedonia on foot.
