Migrant, refugee chaos at a train station in Macedonia


GEVGELIJA, Macedonia (Reuters) - Small children are pushed through open carriage windows each time a Serbia-bound train pulls into the railway station in this Macedonian border town.

A dangerous crush ensues as hundreds of Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis wrestle to climb aboard their quickest means to Belgrade, the last stop en route to Hungary and Europe's borderless Schengen zone. A few police officers and Kurdish man with a large stick represent a half-hearted effort to keep order.
