After the initial incident, a number of refugees and migrants threw stones and objects at the police, setting at least four tents on fire. Police forces used stun grenades and tear gas extensively, as a result of which many people were affected, including pregnant women and children. Αt least two police officers here injured as well.



Doctors Without Borders (Msf) returned to Idomeni camp on Thursday morning, after being forced to leave the previous night because of the clashes, the organization said on Twitter. Msf announced it had just returned to the camp where the situation was now ''calm'' and that it had returned working ''at full speed''.

Before the clashes erupted, two more buses with about 100 refugees had left the makeshift camp to move to official facilities around the city of Thessaloniki.

On Wednesday morning a team of European Parliament members from the Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee (LIBE) visited Idomeni.
