Greek authorities have started removing thousands of migrants and refugees from a makeshift camp near the Macedonian border, where they have been stranded since Macedonia closed its border in February.

Police vehicles and buses will move the migrants from the Idomeni camp to better structured facilities farther south, near the city of Thessaloniki, the BBC reported. Some 10,000 asylum seekers are staying at the squalid camp, where food and sanitary facilities are in short supply.
