The main migrant trail from Greece to northern Europe was blocked on March 9 after western Balkan nations slammed shut their borders, hiking pressure for an EU-Turkey deal and exacerbating a dire situation on the Macedonian border. More than 14,000 mainly Syrian and Iraqi refugees are camping out by the northern Idomeni border crossing with Macedonia — many of them for weeks — at a muddy, unhygienic camp operated by beleaguered aid groups. / AFP PHOTO / DIMITAR DILKOFF
